Join ARI for events all summer long!
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.
Join us at the Carriage House Farm (2872 Lawrenceburg Rd, North Bend, OH 45052) near Shawnee Lookout in Mt. Nebo for the inaugural “Pumpkin STEM” event, hosted by the Archaeological Research Institute (ARI). Â

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. With your contribution, we will construct a state-of-the-art building that will serve as the epicenter of archaeological exploration, research, and community engagement.
