sunwatch indian village/archaeological park印象
-
An enjoyable multi-cultural experience at a historical location in a seldom-visited part of the city.The dancing & singing we're authentic & well done. The rain stayed away so the grounds were walkable.The Sun Watch building shows its age as does the gift shop. The Great Mii River adjacent to the grounds & partially reconstructed village adds to the ambiance of the setting....I would encourage reviewers to attend upcoming pow wows.

Not only does it have a museum and a replica village, it also sponsors children's day camps, pow wows, flute and art festivals, and archeological seminars.

My oldest (8 yrs) had studied Native Americans in school & was fascinated with this place. They did such a good job explaining the history of the native peoples in relation to a time line, it helped to put things in perspective for her. There was an archeologist there on site building one of the replica buildings. He took time to answer questions and explain the construction. It was wonderful!

Here's a rebuilt village and you could really be transported back to the past! All that is missing would be the odors and you can imagine the ghosts.

Although interesting, the park is not well suited for smaller kids or those who are "touchy feely". The site is very educational and they have done a wonderful job with restoration. It's also clear that their work is ongoing. There are very few interpretive signs, there are no guides or volunteers to show you around. The building is modern inside and out but the pathways are not suitable for strollers due to the mud and/or loose mulch. The gift shop is small and a mis-mosh of items from all the area gift shops. Take your own food. Out the back door is a serious missed opportunity to have picnic tables and a place to eat while overlooking the site. Someone please donate a ton of cash because it really is a beautiful area to visit.

I found it to be very interesting. For years, this was just a few acres of farmland. Then they began finding things. This not the Indian Village you see in the movies. These were ancient Indians. Long before the Europeans came to America. As Shultes, of Hogan's Heros would say, " Very Interesting"

This fabulous museum has it all! The museum inside gives all the history of the native americans from this area and the outside has the actual historical digs and re-creation of the village. It is a must see

Well-done display of an excavated village, abandoned almost 1000 years ago. Houses reconstructed on their original foundations. You can see how the village was layed out, and an accompanying museum explains how people lived there. Good for kids and for grownups alike.

This was really a wonderful surprise. There is a great 12 minute film, followed by a well presented exhibit, and the ability to walk all over the site. The gentlemen who welcomed us was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Really interesting to see such a unique site that had survived undisturbed.

Found SunWatch on Trip advisor and glad we decided to go there. Had older kids with us and they enjoyed both the museum and walking around the village that had been replicated on the original site. Fee is very reasonable and everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. The museum gave you a good background before you walked out side to the village. We were there about an hour and half maybe two. Little hard to find, it is in an industrial area but you go down a road following the river and you end up in the beautiful open area. GPS was a great help this time.They had a lot of activities going on for children which was fun to watch also. I would go back again if I am ever in Dayton.
