Lindsay Jones, Professor of Comparative Studies at The Ohio State University, presents The Earthworks of Newark, Ohio: The Remarkable Past, Troubled Present, and Uncertain Future of a Great American Pilgrimage Center. A Wonder of the Ancient World that is today very little known, a revered “sacred place” that is presently occupied by a private golf course. Join Lindsay Jones as he explores the contradictions that make the Newark Earthworks an intensely contested site and a fascinating topic of study.
Programming is co-sponsored by the Department of Religion, St. Olaf College.
