About Ohio History Connection:

The Ohio History Connection, formerly the Ohio Historical Society, is a statewide history organization with the mission to spark discovery of Ohio's stories. Chartered in 1885, the OHC carries out history services for Ohio and its citizens focused on preserving and sharing the state's history. This includes housing the state historic preservation office, the official state archives, local history office and managing more than 50 sites and museums across Ohio.

About The Newark Earthworks:

The Newark Earthworks are monuments created by American Indians 2,000 years ago during the Hopewell Cultural Period (~100 CE - 400 CE). The Newark Earthworks once consisted of 4.5 square miles of geometric earthen enclosures interconnected by parallel walls. The establishment and development of the city of Newark destroyed much of the earthwork in the mid to late 1800s. Two portions of the earthwork are almost perfectly

preserved: the Octagon Earthworks and the Great Circle. A small portion of the Wright Square is also intact. The Newark Earthworks along with six other Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2023.

Our goal is to provide a great visitor experience to all who come to visit the site whether that be keeping the grounds and facilities looking their best, providing tours, or being a welcoming presence throughout the site.
