They resided in what is now the Eastern United States, focused primarily in Ohio, and parts of West Virginia and Kentucky, during a period known in archaeology as the Early Woodland. They had a unique burial complex and ceremonial tradition, the largest visible sign of which are large earthen mounds spread across the landscape. The Miamsburg mound at 65 feet, is the largest intact mound in Ohio.

A view of the George Rogers Clark homestead, where he resided from 1803-1809. It was at this location in 1803 that a famous meeting between William Clark (George’s brother) and Merriweather Lewis, occurred, to plan and prepare the Lewis and Clark Expedition. George Clark resided on the property another 6 years, until a severe stroke led to an accident that left him disabled, and unable to live on his own. He ultimately moved across the Ohio River to Locust Grove, a property owned by his sister and her husband. Over the course of his life, George Clark was an explorer, surveyor, and military officer in the United States Army. He is also one of the founders of Clarksville, which he donated land to, from a land grant given him by the states of Virginia that covered much of present day Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana.

The cabin pictured was a replica of the cabin built by George Clark, and was burned down in an arson fire in 2021
