Fort Ancient
By Linda Tancs
The largest hilltop enclosure in North America, Fort Ancient is a Native American earthworks complex in Oregonia, Ohio. Located on a bluff overlooking the Little Miami River, the 2,000-year-old site was not really a fort but rather a gathering place for ceremonial activities, particularly at Morehead Circle near the museum on the premises. Today, the site (a UNESCO World Heritage site) is a nature-lover’s paradise with miles of trails, scenic overlooks and earthen embankments, some of which reach 23 feet high. Allow at least two hours for your visit.
