Harry T. Wilks was a Miami alumnus who resided in Hamilton, Ohio. A former attorney, Mr. Wilks accomplished a great deal in his career. In 1987, he bought 40 acres of land in Hamilton and then purchased additional land totaling 265 acres. Mr. Wilks converted that property into Pyramid Hill, a public sculpture park and museum. The park is the only one of its kind in the world, with over 65 sculptures on display, and a museum that plays host to exceedingly rare and valuable artifacts. Pyramid Hill is a major asset to the community of Hamilton that the city is referred to as "The City of Sculpture."
