US Army National Guard Cultural Resources Planning Level Survey - Ohio

Summary

In January 1998, St. Louis District personnel visited the Adjutant General’s Office of the Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) and the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus to research archaeological and historic building survey work conducted on National Guard facilities in the state. This document reports the history of cultural investigations on federally owned or federally supported OHARNG facilities, lists archaeological sites and historic buildings recorded within facility boundaries, discusses historic contexts and predictive models, and provides a list of Native American tribes that may be potentially culturally affiliated to archaeological collections recovered from OHARNG facilities. To date, 276 historic properties, including archaeological sites, historic buildings, and isolated artifact finds have been recorded on Camp Perry Training Site, Camp Sherman Rifle Range, McConnelsville Local Training Area (Hawk Missile Training Site), Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant, and Rickenbacker Training Site (Air National Guard Base). No cultural properties located on OHARNG facilities have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), but one has been deemed eligible for the NRHP. The extent, nature, and location of archaeological collections recovered from work conducted on OHARNG facilities will be determined in the second phase of this project, to be completed during Fiscal Year 1999.
