“The acknowledgement of the rising of the sun on the shortest day of the year reveals a traditional understanding about this twice-yearly positioning of the sun relative to the equator,” according to a Fort Ancient press release.
Fort Ancient Site Manager Jack Blosser will share the impressive history of Fort Ancient and give context to this astronomical event. The event is FREE to the public. Regular admission prices apply to visitors wanting to explore the museum.
