Wright Earthworks preserves remnants of a vast ceremonial complex in built by the Hopewell culture between about 100 BCE and 400 CE. Located on James Street in Newark, Ohio, the site includes surviving sections of a square enclosure and ceremonial roadway that once linked major earthwork centers across the complex. Preserved through the 1934 donation of Frances Rees Wright, it is now part of the Newark Earthworks National Historic Landmark. - AsNotedIn
