Impressive park that preserves "the Great Circle" which received a UNESCO World Heritage site…read moredesignation in 2023. I came here for a quick stop while driving to Columbus, OH in mid-June 2025 for a conference. Lot of pluses in visiting this park. First, it's an important ceremonial site built between 100BC and 400AD by the Hopewell Indians with a link to astronomical patterns. It was later used as a county fairground (which allowed it to be preserved). Second, parking is free and plentiful. Third, you can walk freely around the outdoor complex and read some of the signs and displays (the scale of the Great Circle is massive). Be sure to stay off the mounds. The only downside was that the museum was closed on a Monday. I did not see a restroom facility available when the museum was closed.

As to allowing child level reading regarding empathy, gender, etc., I fully support the Institution. At 63 years-of-age, I realize how much suffering is provided through ignorance on these simple concepts. My skin is not pink or blue. Ive never been only one color, gender, etc. Understanding is not evil - sadly, ignorance is a killer.

Zanesville is a very interesting city in Ohio, and it's a lot bigger than you expect from a city that nobody's ever really heard of. It's exactly halfway between Columbus Ohio and Wheeling West Virginia. And heading East there's nothing but mountains. To the West it's a long flat stretch to Columbus. It has a small town feel, and it even seems a little bit Republican to me. But it's a nice city.
