Fort Hill

Fort Hill State Memorial is a nature preserve
containing one of the best preserved Indian hilltop enclosures in North America. The
Hopewell Indians (100 B.C.-A.D. 500) constructed the 1 1/2 mile long earthwork hilltop
enclosure as well as at least two ceremonial buildings and probably a village in the Brush
creek Valley.
Lying at the western edge of the
Allegheny Plateau, immediately south of the glacial boundary, this hilly area contains an
impressive diversity of bedrock, soils, flora, and fauna. There are 11 miles of hiking
trails at the 1200 acre preserve as well as a picnic area. The museum will be closed for
the summer of 1999 for extensive renovations with new exhibits on the archaeology and
natural history of the area. Watch this site for announcement of its re-opening date.
