The Historic downtown district of Marietta is truly a unique shopping experience. Take a relaxing walk by brick streets and charming lamp-posts.Explore the collection of colorful shops offering antiques, vintage clothing, collectibles, fine jewelry, novelties, books. etc.
I liked the front of this store "Porter's Florist" which is featured in my photo.

OK - where to put this tip! The MARIETTA HARBOR CONCESSION STAND is not really a restaurant and not really for shopping. But I do think it is a local tradition or local custom to come here. It's near the walking trails, near the walkway to Harmar Village and it has great views of the Muskingum River.
The concession stand located at 1 Butler Street, offers cold drinks - ice - hand dipped ice cream - hot dogs - snacks. And it also includes the Harbor Gift Shop.
It was closed when we were there on Tuesday, October 19.
