Are you wondering what is so historic about Marietta? Whether you are strolling along the brick streets or driving through the shady neighborhoods, you can feel this sense of historic nostalgia with the Victorian architecture of brick, board, and stone. Marietta, as the first permanent settlement of the Northwest Territory, is a living landmark of post-Revolution heritage.

When enjoying the charm of this old river town, you are called to question the history of what is hidden behind the eighteenth-century storefronts, the doors of old homes, and the many monuments/markers found around town. By using the tour book, Behind the Doors of Historic Marietta, you are able to unlock the hidden history by leisurely visiting the sites and reading about the real people and events that laid the foundation for the growth of Marietta.  If you are interested in having the book prior to your Marietta visit, it can be ordered from Sugden's Book Store at (740) 373-0347.
