Shawnee Lookout Park, Ohio
|
Shawnee Lookout Park, Ohio is located on a prominent hilltop providing spectacular views overlooking the confluence of the Ohio and Great Miami Rivers (near the tristate intersection of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Archaeologists suggests that Shawnee Lookout may be one of the largest continuously occupied hilltop Native American sites in the United States. Starting about 2,000 years ago, prehistoric Indians of Hopewell Culture constructed earthworks (Indian mounds and border walls). These people show links to the Shawnee people who occupied the site to about 300 years ago. |
