SunWatch is the site of an 800-year-old American Indian Village situated along the banks of the Great Miami River. Discovered by local amateur archaeologists, the site has been excavated and studied since 1968. SunWatch features an Interpretive Center and reconstructed Village, as well as prairie with native grasses and other plants. Visitors generally find the exhibits at SunWatch to be neat and informative, though some note that certain exhibits may be closed or lack clarity at times. The informational video is often praised as great. While some wish for more outdoor signage or a functional website to aid in planning, the site is still considered a worthwhile and educational visit, especially with a guided tour. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for ages 3 and up, and free for children under 3.
Just an amazing experience of ancient Native American culture

Our Daughters of the American Revolution chapter went. We were led on a tour. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. It is nice to participate in a site where you can touch the artifacts and enter the buildings.

I enjoyed it. I know it's the off season, but it would be nice to have signage in and around the buildings about items. Respect for the site is very obvious throughout. As a previous historical site director, I did a bit of interp. I recommend this site often.
