SunWatch Indian Village Archaeological Park 4.4 (reviews)

Along the banks of the Great Miami River, there is something very historically important, and luckily for you, it's also a fascinating attraction perfect for families to visit!

SunWatch Indian Village Archaeological Park is located on the original site of an 800 year old American Indian Village, which is pretty incredible!

The best place to start your adventure into history is at the Interpretive Center where they offer learning and exploration. You can begin by watching a film all about the history of the village and it's inhabitants in the indoor theater.

It's the perfect way to set the scene, and immerse yourselves in the 800 year old lifestyle as you explore artifacts, information on the history, and even experience reconstructed structures! All of these are based on their original, exact locations so your imagination can really run away with you when you realize that everything you are seeing actually happened right where you are standing!

The best way to get the most out of your time at SunWatch Indian Village Archaeological Park is the optional enhanced audio guide tour, where you can explore the grounds at your own leisure, yet listen to the significance and history of each of the sites you are exploring.

The topics are fascinating! Did you know that some of the elements of the village are based on the astronomical alignments? You can learn about how they built the houses they lived in, and even harvesting techniques.

Each year SunWatch host special events which explore American Indian issues, culture, and archaeology, so keep an eye out so you don't miss out! 

So for that walk back through history (800 years to be exact!) then head on over to SunWatch Indian Village - it's living history right at your feet!
