View Comments The High Bank Works are among the most beautiful of all the American Indian sacred landscapes built in the Ohio Valley nearly 2000 years ago. These works are masterpieces of landscape architecture: earthen sculptures built at a monumental scale, with elegant geometry, and precisely aligned to the cyclical movements of the Sun and Moon. The High Bank site is one of five earthwork complexes included in Hopewell Culture National Historical Park near Chillicothe, Ohio (not to be confused with the Highbanks Metro Park north of Columbus). These National Park sites are being nominated to the World Heritage List as “Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks” alongside three other earthworks managed by the Ohio History Connection: the Octagon Earthworks and the Great Circle in Licking County; and the Fort Ancient Earthworks in Warren County.
