Details:
Join us for a homeschool program at the Octagon Earthworks as we explore the sun, the moon, and why they were important to the people of the Hopewell Culture. Students will enjoy hands-on activities and a guided tour of the earthworks while learning how the Octagon was carefully aligned with the moonrise.
