The Ross County Historical Society is excited to welcome local educator and archaeological researcher Gary Argabright for a special evening presentation, “Mammoths, Mastodons and Early Peoples in Ross County at the End of the Ice Age,” on Saturday, August 30, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and will be held at the Ross County Heritage Center, located at 45 W. Fifth St, Chillicothe, OH, 45601.
Argabright, a respected voice in the region’s archaeological and educational community, will explore the fascinating history of Ross County’s Ice Age megafauna— creatures like mammoths and mastodons—and their interactions with the area’s earliest human inhabitants. Drawing from his recent research and travel to key paleontological sites, including Big Bone Lick (KY), the Waco Mammoth Site (TX), Lubbock Lake (TX), and Blackwater Draw (NM), he’ll share fresh perspectives on how global and local changes shaped life at the end of the last Ice Age.
Whether you’re a history buff, science enthusiast, student, or simply curious about Ohio’s ancient past, this event promises to be both educational and inspiring. Be sure to stop by early for some light refreshments.
