The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks in Ohio | U.S. Department of the Interior

Located in southern Ohio, the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks is where the Hopewell people built enormous, landscape-scale geometric earthworks during the Middle Woodland period (1,500 – 2,100 years ago) in an extraordinary expression of cooperative cultural activity. Because of its cultural value, Interior is proposing that the United States nominate the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks as a World Heritage Site. If selected, Hopewell would join other cultural and natural sites of universal importance such as the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador.
