The exhibition Mounds, Moon and Stars: The Legacy of Ohio’s Magnificent Earthworks focuses on the Newark Earthworks as representative of the flourishing Hopewell era culture and draws the curtain back on the sophisticated lives of the local people while at the same time looking at the scientific and artistic complexities of the sites.
