Memberships are a great way to be involved at ARI
At ARI, we are passionately committed to raising public awareness about the significance of safeguarding archaeological sites and cultural heritage. Each year, we organize a series of engaging events that provide both enjoyable and educational experiences. From captivating Speakeasy gatherings to exhilarating 5K Adventure runs, our diverse range of activities ensures there’s something for everyone.
Our primary objective is to host events that not only captivate new attendees but also grow in scale each year. Through these events, we aim to generate substantial funds that will enable us to further our mission. With a wide appeal, our events attract participants from various states, with a significant number hailing from the local regions of SE Indiana and the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
By sponsoring our events, you have the opportunity to proudly showcase your support and appreciation for cultural resources and the preservation of archaeological sites.
Last year we spent a raucous night with Indiana’s king of bootleggers, George Remus, uncovering Indiana’s wild and storied Prohibition past.
This year let’s dig deeper.
Step into the shadows of history, where vice and virtue shaped our city—and help ARI preserve its legacy.
Discover the colorful past of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, a town shaped by the Ohio River’s ebb and flow. From riverboats and gambling halls to whiskey barrels and tobacco fields, the city’s history weaves a tale of contrasts: indulgence and integrity, good and evil.
Celebrate the stories that define our region and support ARI’s mission to preserve the culture, artifacts, and legacies that make Lawrenceburg’s history unforgettable. Together, we’ll honor the past while shaping a future that keeps its spirit alive.

Imagine a future where history comes to life, where ancient civilizations are not merely pages in textbooks, but immersive experiences that transport us through time. At ARI, we are on a mission to create that future, and we need your generous support to make it a reality.
We are thrilled to announce our ambitious $5 million campaign to build ARI Basecamp 2.0, a groundbreaking facility, located in Lawrenceburg, IN, that will revolutionize the field of public archaeology in the region.
