SunWatch Indian Village is located in Dayton, Ohio and is an archaeological site that was home to the Fort Ancient culture around 800 years ago. The village is situated on a bluff overlooking the Great Miami River and was an important trading center for Native Americans. The site was discovered in the 1970s during a construction project and has since been excavated and preserved.

Visitors to SunWatch can explore the reconstructed village, which includes a central plaza, several houses, and a garden. The structures are made from wooden poles and thatched roofs and are based on archaeological evidence of the original Fort Ancient homes. The garden is planted with crops that were grown by the Fort Ancient people, such as corn, beans, and squash.

In addition to the reconstructed village, SunWatch has a museum that displays artifacts and information about the Fort Ancient culture. The museum features interactive exhibits that allow visitors to learn about the daily life, customs, and beliefs of the people who lived at SunWatch.
