The Mound Builders in Ohio

Far Hills Speaker Series explores Ohio mysteries

Wright Memorial Public Library and the Oakwood Historical Society are proud to host the Far Hills Speaker Series at Wright Library, 1776 Far Hills Ave. in Oakwood. The February 16 program, "The Mound Builders in Ohio" is presented by Mark Risley and begins at 2:00 PM at Wright Library, or register for a virtual link at wrightlibrary.org/events. Seating limited to 80.

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.

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.
