Aug. 17, 2010---Took the shuttle tour to see and hear about some of the history of Marietta, Ohio.
This lady was born and raised here and did a good job of narrating as we toured the city.
This interesting architectural design is the original home of the lockmaster for lock #1. Lockmasters used this home from the 1840's to the 1940's.
Harmar Post Office
Post Office was in a very narrow building. Old grinding wheel out front.
