In the 1200s, the Native American Fort Ancients tribe settled here, but it wasn't until the 1960s when excavation workers were beginning a sewage treatment plant project that the site was uncovered. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the site has been preserved and gradually refurbished, and now offers a fascinating look into US prehistory. A trail weaves through and around the partially reconstructed village, giving a good overview of this ancient tribe. Artifacts and exhibits detailing the archaeology of the village help to give visitors a more complete picture of Fort Ancient culture.
