In bright orange T-shirts bearing a “Walking Ancient Ohio” logo, a group of people set out from Greenfield’s historical complex recently with the intent of covering 14 miles by foot to a point on U.S. Route 50 where they began a five-mile canoe journey to Seip Mound in Bainbridge.
The next day they were to cover 17 miles, with that leg of the journey bringing them by all the other associated earthworks Hopewell, Mound City, Hopeton and High Bank in Chillicothe as they make their way toward Newark in the coming weeks.
