Golf in Marietta

Marietta is the county seat of Washington County and a city of extraordinary historical significance—the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory, established in 1788 at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. The city's remarkably preserved historic architecture, its Campus Martius Museum, and the Mound Cemetery—built within an ancient Adena earthwork—create an exceptional historical environment that distinguishes Marietta from all other Ohio river towns. The confluence location and the surrounding hill country make Marietta one of southeastern Ohio's most scenic and historically layered communities.
