This timeline attempts to record history from the ancient Adena and Hopewell cultures to the events of today. We hope to give a sense of the broad sweep of change over time, in Ohio, the United States, and across the globe. Not all entries are comprehensive, but many do include accompanying images and resources to connect larger events with the core themes of History WORKS.

Each month the timeline will grow larger and more detailed as we add material from the most recent seminars. Our goal is to take the events we study in the History WORKS program and set them in their historical context.
