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.

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.
