Fort Ancient is the best-preserved hilltop enclosure in the United States. It is located 245 feet about the Little Miami River Valley in Warren County, Ohio. The American Indians built Fort Ancient around 2,000 years ago during the Hopewell cultural period. The site consists of approximately 18,000 feet of earthen walls that range in height from 3 to 23 feet. There are 3.5 miles of hiking trails, a picnic area, and two scenic overlooks. The museum at Fort Ancient has a 9,000 sq ft exhibit area, a hands on classroom, and a seasonal reconstructed garden depicting crops that were grown 2,000 and 1,000 years ago.
