SAVE THE DATE! Brad Lepper of Ohio History Connection presents “The Burning Tree Mastodon and Ohio’s Ice Age”
Join us March 19, 2025, 6:30 PM at Ohio University Chillicothe Auditorium, Bennett Hall for this exciting presentation. The 1989 discovery of this giant, ancient elephant-like creature opened an unprecedented window onto Ohio’s Ice Age. Archaeologists, biologists, and geologists studied the mastodon’s nearly complete remains (including its last meal) and other Ice Age animals and plants. This presentation will describe their findings and address the question of whether ancient human hunters or environmental changes drove mastodons into extinction.
