SUMMARY:Wolfe Plains Mounds Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Wolfe Plains Group is a Late Adena culture group of 30 earthworks including 22 conical mounds and nine circular enclosures\, originally known as Wolf’s Plains\, located a few miles to the northwest of Athens\, is a relatively flat terrace in an area of hilly terrain in southeastern Ohio’s Hocking River valley.  \nWe will meet at Solid Ground Farm a few miles away from The Plains to load the Rising Appalachia van. This is the third largest Adena mound complex after Chillicothe and Charleston\, WV.  Only three mounds remain visible in The Plains. We have the records of the mound excavations to be able to tell you what was found inside of them. The tour will take us through the area that used to be inhabited by mounds with an explanation of Ohio prehistory using the original maps of the area. We will stop at the Plains for bathroom breaks and a look at the “schoolhouse” mound that now has a home on top of it. Next\, we will stop at the parking lot near the High school and walk over to a mound that is on private property near the Nature Conservancy land in The Plains. Finally\, We will visit the two largest remaining mounds off of Mounds St before returning to Solid Ground Farm. This tour helps to support Native culture and heritage in Ohio and Athens County.

SUMMARY:Discovering History Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Female Spies in the Civil War \nAlthough a majority of Americans believe that the Civil War was fought only by men\, that is far from the truth. While most women were not on the battlefield\, there were some\, such as the legendary Belle Boyd\, who participated in spying and espionage. During this installment of Discovering History\, we will explore the life of Belle Boyd\, a resident of Martinsburg\, West Virginia\, and her actions during the Civil War. We will also touch on the experiences of other female spies and discuss why it is important to study figures on both the right and wrong sides of history. \nAbby Farnsworth is a senior at Ashland University in Ashland\, Ohio. She is majoring in History with minors in Political Science and Conflict Resolution\, and is also a member of the Ashbrook Scholar Program. Additionally\, Abby has taken graduate courses at Ashland and focuses her research on the lives of extraordinary female historical figures. She is currently working on completing her undergraduate thesis\, which will explore the life of Anne Boleyn\, the second wife of King Henry VIII. Abby will defend her thesis in the Spring of 2026. \nThis event is sponsored by the Washington County Public Library\, and is FREE and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Ross County Historical Society: 'Mammoths\, Mastodons and Early Peoples in Ross County at the End of the Ice Age'
DESCRIPTION:The Ross County Historical Society is excited to welcome local educator and archaeological researcher Gary Argabright for a special evening presentation\, “Mammoths\, Mastodons and Early Peoples in Ross County at the End of the Ice Age\,” on Saturday\, August 30\, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public\, and will be held at the Ross County Heritage Center\, located at 45 W.

SUMMARY:Discovering History Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Land Hunger: Ohio and the Western Frontiers\nIn his talk\, Mansel G. Blackford will explore how notions and realities of land use were central to the experiences of Native Americans\, African Americans\, and Euro Americans living in the Ohio Country over several centuries. Moreover\, Blackford will examine how Ohioans (and others) sought to transfer knowledge gained in the Midwest to two other regions\, the Oregon Country and the Great Plains–with only partial success. Throughout\, the talk’s emphasis will be on men and women coming to grips with environments new to them by looking at how they lived in frontier times. The talk will\, thus\, address questions of importance to anyone interested in relationships between people and their environments: Above all\, how did ideas about the environment\, especially conceptions about water and land\, shape actions; and what have been the consequences of those actions down to the present day? Questions like these are relevant to us today\, as we grapple with the many environmental challenges resulting from climate changes. \nMansel G. Blackford is a professor emeritus of history at the Ohio State University\, where he worked in the fields of business history and frontier history for forty years. He is the author or coauthor of a dozen books\, several of which deal specifically with Ohio and midwestern history—most recently Land Hunger: Ohio and the Western Frontiers (Athens: Ohio University Press\, 2025). \nBlackford’s talk will be based on his just-published book Land Hunger: Ohio and the Western Frontiers (Athens: Ohio University Press\, 2025)\, which is available for sale in our Museum Gift Shop. \nThis event is sponsored by the Washington County Public Library\, and is FREE and open to the public.

SUMMARY:OCEES 2025 Darwin Lecture – Featuring Douglas W. Tallamy
DESCRIPTION:Recent headlines about global insect declines\, the impending extinction of one million species worldwide\, and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us.  Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity on our own properties and will explain why we\, ourselves\, are nature’s best hope. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public and OU community. Please join us at 6:30 on October 15th at 135 Walter Hall\, 25 South Green Drive\, Athens\, Ohio.
