The Digital Precontact Experience
Welcome to The Digital Precontact Experience !
Archaeologist and students from the Applied Anthropology Laboratories, Ball State University, in collaboration with the Fort Recovery Historical Society, have created an online StoryMap that highlights the Fort Recovery Historical Society’s large collection of projectile points, and other stone artifacts. These artifacts date from the Paleoindian (ca. 14,000-7,000 BC) to Late Precontact (post AD 900) periods, and are exhibited in the Fort Recovery State Museum. The new online StoryMap is available via computer, mobile phone, or tablet. The StoryMap includes context about the artifacts and cultural periods, photos and 3D images of selected artifacts, videos, maps, and more. We are so excited that this StoryMap will provide more exhibit content to Museum visitors, provide a way for Museum visitors with accessibility issues to enjoy this exhibit, and will make this collection available digitally to those who cannot visit the Museum. We hope you enjoy this new addition to the Fort Recovery State Museum!

THANK YOU 2020 Patrons!
Patrons – You are Amazing and Appreciated! Donations continue to come in for the support of the Fort Recovery Museum’s efforts. We can’t tell you how much those are appreciated. There are big and small things on our “Needs” list! Monument Lighting, Building Repairs, Dead Elm Trees Removal, etc. And if funds were available at some point, we certainly would like to continue the history-themed murals project in Fort Recovery.
