The Mound Builders in Ohio

When settlers arrived in the Ohio area, they were impressed to find large, mysterious earthworks in the shapes of mounds, enclosures and animal effigies. This program visits some of these sites, many in the Dayton region, and looks at the ancient indigenous people who built them. Presenter Mark Risley is a retired airline aircraft dispatcher, past president of The Oakwood Historical Society, and an active volunteer for several organizations. He is a distinguished moderator at the University of Dayton Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and a contributing writer to The Oakwood Register.
