1932 Campus Martius Museum Marietta OH Postcard

About This Vintage Postcard

A sense of quiet permanence radiates from the brick and stone facade of the Campus Martius Historical Museum, standing as a sentinel over the rich heritage of Marietta. The stately Georgian-style architecture, with its grand white gables and arched entryways, is bathed in the soft light of a mid-century afternoon. Below the grassy embankment, a vintage car waits by the roadside, a small reminder of the era when this museum first began preserving the stories of the Northwest Territory. The museum is located on the original site of the Campus Martius stockade, a civilian fortress built in 1788 to protect early pioneers.
