Experience historic Marietta through a tour of eleven homes in the first established settlement of the Northwest Territory. Whether you are a collector, architect, historian, photographer, or just love old homes, this tour includes a location to pique your interests! Homes on Saturday will be different from homes on Sunday. Six homes, including The Castle Museum, will be featured on Saturday, with five different homes on Sunday’s tour.
On both days tours begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. “Single Day” reservations can be purchased on The Castle’s website or at The Castle’s Carriage House for $30 and will include all houses featured on the day of your choice, either Saturday or Sunday. With the purchase of a “Weekend Pass” for $50, you will be able to visit all of the homes featured on each day. With your reservation, you may visit as many or as few of the stops as you wish. Many of the homes featured are within walking distance of each other, although you may drive to locations if preferred.
