Ohio Supreme Court: State historical society can take over golf course built on ancient earthworks

Ohio Supreme Court rules that the Ohio History Connection can buy out a lease from a golf course built on ancient Native American earthworks. The society offered Moundbuilders Country Club $800,000 to break its 22-year-old lease. It's uncertain whether the earthwork will be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country club argued that getting rid of the golf courses wouldn't serve the public interest. Justice Donnelly agreed with the trial-court ruling that History Society acted in good faith. He also disagreed with their argument that it wouldn’t serve public interests.
