Beautiful area! The grounds are very well kept although watch for uneven earth, footing could be tricky with tree roots etc. Lots of history within this gorgeous cemetery. Be cautious of the steps ascending the mound itself; can be uneven as well.

Stopped here to visit the grave site of Gen. Rufus Dawes. He fought in many Civil War battles including Gettysburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville and many others. His sons and grand kids are buried nearby. Fascinating just to walk around here and look at the old monuments. Very interesting and just a short couple minute drive to Mound Cemetery which I also visited.

Marietta, Ohio is one of the earlier Ohio settlements. It's actually named for Marie Antionette due to the French monarchy's support of the American Revolution.Skip the part by the freeway - about 1,000 yards away the actual, nice town begins. This attractive church became a basilica in 2013, although it is much older. In an odd way, it is both a smaller church and a very large one. The footprint isn't all that big, but it is immensely tall with massive stained glass windows and a huge dome. The church has been renovated and is very bright and attractive. The basilica is in a nice neighborhood. If this area were located in, say, Washington DC instead of Ohio, none of us could afford to live here. There are walking tours, both guided and self-guided, of Marietta. This impressive church is well worth a visit either way, and regardless of your religion. Incidentally, the Mound Cemetery, which includes Revolutionary War generals and a large mound, is just a few blocks away, and is very much worth a visit.

This shop was so awesome we visited twice in one day!! I'm a sucker for local, even more so for cute AND local!! I could have easily spent a couple of hundred dollars in this shop but settled (reluctantly) for $50 worth of locally made candles, soap, and trinkets. The shop owner is so sweet and you can tell from talking to her that this shop is indeed her passion. I didn't have time to browse as much as I wanted, but I will be back and will be keeping this shop on my list of places to visit to score unique gifts for my friends and family. A Marietta gem. You will not be disappointed.

I just visited the museum with my parents who are in their 80s and 90s and walk very slowly and with a cane. The staff was extremely helpful putting out chairs for my parents so they could sit while listening to the tour guide and enjoying both the museum and the WP Snyder, Jr. boat. If you can go up and down a full flight of stairs, you can navigate the WP Snyder, Jr! A big thank-you to the incredible staff.
