Our First Exploring Day in the Dayton OH Area

​Friday, August 2nd -- We chose to check out a couple attractions that were very close to the campground. First was Fort Ancient. We had no idea what to expect with this one, but it ended up being very interesting. 

​It is a fort made by early Hopewell Indians about 3000 years ago. It is propped upon some hills, but graded flat, with raised earthen works around the entire perimeter. And there were special rock formations on the ground which they believe to be for ceremonial purposes. It was just an amazing piece of engineering work for something that was built so long ago.

​Next, we visited the Caesar Creek Pioneer Village, which was a collection of old houses brought to this site from other farms nearby. They are each tagged with their information, so you can see who they belonged to and when they were all built. This Village is only open for special events, so we weren't able to go inside any of the buildings, but very interesting nonetheless.

I went thru this village by myself, while Ed was walking General. And I did a much better job of taking video than pictures. I do apologize.

That evening, we enjoyed a very nice campfire.
