ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH

by LoriPori

One of the very first things we saw when we entered Marietta was the tall towers of ST.MARY's CATHOLIC CHURCH. The church is absolutely beautiful. Located at 506 Fourth Street at the corner of Fourth and Wooster, the Church was built in Spanish-Renaissance style, a blend of Romanesque and Baroque. On December 12, 1909. Bishop Hartley dedicated the new St. Mary's Church and celebrated the first pontifical high mass in Marietta.
One of the glories of the church, is the stained glass windows.

Historic Marietta, Ohio

"Lots of History"

We live just 15 miles from Marietta, Ohio, but we make a point to visit often. There's so much history here, and the downtown is really alive, with historic buildings, actual real businesses, and is easy to get around by just walking. Right on the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers, it's definitely a river town.

Marietta was the first settlement in the Northwest Territory, and has a museum with part of the original cabins that were here.

"LOCKMASTER'S HOUSE"

Located at 243 Front Street, the LOCKMASTER'S HOUSE was the home of the Lockmaster for Marietta and Muskingum Valley towns from the 1840's to the 1940's.
