SunWatch Indian Village

Picture of the Day for 10/4/2015.  I needed a little break from all the aviation-related activities of the past few days so I visited the SunWatch Indian Village. It is a reconstructed Fort Ancient Native American village next to the Great Miami River in Dayton, Ohio. I'm used to the Native American cultures found in Utah and the Four Corners region so it was fun to see completely different types of artifacts and buildings and landscapes.

The Fort Ancient culture was active between 1000 and 1750 AD. This reconstruction is on the site of an actual 13th century village that was occupied for about 20 years and had a population of approximately 250 people.
