Marietta is located in the heart of Washington County in southeast Ohio. Ancient tribes and pioneers found it ideally positioned between the rivers and the hills — fertile land bearing a wealth of natural resources. Early in US history, the city was designated as the starting place for further exploration — and from this spot westward expansion began. As a result, this star on the map is still on the road to almost anywhere.
Nestled in the picturesque hills of the Mid-Ohio Valley, the historic riverboat town and environs are idyllic places for holidays, vacations, romantic getaways, family gatherings and conventions.
Plan for a day, a weekend, a week, or an extended stay — the Pioneer City, the historic gateway to the Northwest Territory, is a great place to make your next stop.
