Historic St. Mary's Catholic Church

Reviewed By kghudson - Houston, United States

Walked to St. Mary's from the Central Market to see one of the oldest Catholic churches standing on its original sight. Church was open and getting ready for daily mass when we got there about 11:00. Beautiful stained glass, awe inspiring altar and a quiet and reverent church. We try to visit Catholic churches on our visits and St. Mary's was impressive and memorable. Beautiful, Holy spot!!

Columbia Crossing River Trails Center

Reviewed By Urbabill - Pittsburgh, United States

This was a great day trip on a bike. You can rent the bikes right across the parking lot at the River Trains Center. The trail is about 11 miles each way on the blacktop, including a trip through Marietta. The facilities were new and very nice. The trail was very well kept.

Amish Country

Reviewed By Davidcarmytraveler - Coventry, United States

The simple life has some characteristics we could all learn from it. Learned a lot here about their tradition and German-American culture. Friendly people with good local businesses and food. It’s fun to see them riding their scooters and driving their buggies. I enjoyed the time I got to spend with them.
