This museum was great! There were a lot of frontier artifacts and the Putnum house was well preserved. The volunteer tour guide was also very knowledgeable.

Wow, this place has so much american history it blows my mind. You have to come see this place if visiting Marietta, OH. Its perfect for the little ones, and there are some audio portions you can listen to. Also you can bundle this ticket with Ohio River Musuem, which is also pretty cool.

Very cool, and informative. Every one was nice and helpful. Great exhibits and ties to local history.

Its a really cool little museum that tells you a lot about the history of the area. And I would definitely recommend a tour of the piece of fort they have, though it involves going up some steep stairs. The museum itself is wheelchair-friendly, though. I wish they had more changing exhibits, but I understand that its a small, local museum.

Very informative tour.. Nice space. Lots to see. Cute gift shop

Great displays with loads of information and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Leaves one with a great appreciation of the effort and fortitude involved in settling the Northwest Territory.

Amazing museum with a great tour of Putnams original house

Very neat museum. Great price to get in. About Ohios first settlement. Rufus Putnam House also

Awesome time, very informative tour guide. Much bigger than I expected.

Great historical site to visit and the guide was very kind and knowledgeable.

Perfect pioneer history. For kids the interactive benches and coal miner dress up engages. Probably the best feature is the Putnam house on its original site encased within the museum!

Lovely tour given by Miss Nancy, a very knowledgeable and interesting your guide. Pioneers Exhibit still up today 12/27/19.

Nice museum about the pioneers of Marietta and theyre history of moving West. Handicap accessible

Great museum. Love how the house is inside the museum. Do the tour. Has 3 levels. Would recommend to anyone. Thought it was funny they had an advertisement for a Ross manure spreader.

Very neat place and great knowledgeable people

Excellent exhibits and detailed tour of Putnam house! Highly recommend to anyone interested in American History.

For anyone with an interest in the early history of westward expansion in the United States, this is a must see museum. Built on the site of and enclosing a portion of the original stockade which formed the center of the first official settlement of the Northwest Territory, Campus Martius provides an outstanding view of early pioneer life.

Great tour of the old Putnam house! I love how the museum was built around it. Theyve tried to keep the home as original as possible, and its fantastic. The rest of the museum is amazing as well.

It was nice to see and learn more about the history of Marietta.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit.

Great history, great stories, great place to visit.

Great collection. Enjoyed it very much. Putnam house tour is definitely worth the time. They also have a deal where you can save on entrance fees if youre also going to the Ohio River Museum.

Reasonable price for the amount to see live in town and hadnt stopped in since I was a kid. Very interesting.

Great exhibits and tour. You will leave with understanding and appreciation for those that settled here

This is a great place to take kids. There is plenty of displays to satisfy anyones interest. The house inside is really interesting. You can walk inside and see what it was like in the old days. The staff is very pleasant and really informative. Try it out for a learning experience.

The true history of the Northwest Territory! Even an original log cabin inside! Check for seasonal hours

It is worth seeing how the museum was built around the original house.

An excellent place to learn and see some unique and exciting facts about the area! The artifacts bring my family back and have us bringing our out of town guests every chance we get.The Rufus Putnam House is one of my favorite exhibits!I highly suggest kids and adults alike check this museum out its money and a time well spent!

Very exciting to see so much history

A wonderful small town museum. The people at the front desk were so helpful and interesting to talk to. Definetly worth a stop to view history of the area.

Great exhibits and wonderful, very knowledgeable guides to give you lots of interesting information.

Wonderful to experience this part of ohio history. Very well done!

Another Gem in Mariettas river town crown. Campus Martius Museum is definitely worth a visit by any history lovers who are in town!

Enjoyed all of the varied exhibits here, very well presented and interesting subject matter. Reasonable admission price, must see if youre in town!

Nice museum full of Ohio history and the opening of the Ohio Territory. 3 stories of good stuff to see and absorb. Will have to go back as I really didnt have time for everything.

Very interesting civil war period museum. It is worth a visit if you happen to be in this area.

The library here is amazing for anyone wanting to do genealogy research. The janitor Billy is very knowledgeable and I probably spent most of my time talking to him.

Fairly basic museum of the first permanent settlement in Ohio.

History enthusiasts dream! Located on exact site and original foundation of first settlement West of Ohio River. Putnams house contains wood from original stockade and museum has incredible historical documents and artifacts. Also an interesting exhibit relating to Appalachian migration to northern cities. There is a riverboat museum and pioneer cemetery and plus a many historical houses. Take a couple of days to explore the area.

Amazing log house on original location INSIDE this museum!

If you are into history it has some things to offer. Nice facility and local historical references.

This museum is worth a visit. We were especially impressed with the tour of the Putnam house. This was originally built at this location in the 1700s. They have done a wonderful job restoring and preserving the historic home.

The guided tour of the Rufus Putnam house is fascinating. They built the museum around the house.

Informative, exhibits were authentic, well presented. Guided tour of Putnam house was well presented and in depth upon request. Can’t wait to take grandchild when she is ready!

Great history of first settlement in Ohio.

A fantastic experience. I really enjoyed the time spent learning about the region. There are some fantastic artifacts in the museum which include a portion of the founders 200+ year old house with period furnishings. Allow 2-3 hours to see everything.

Very interesting place

Very informative and interesting exhibits. Lady at to the front desk and gentleman doing the guided tour portion were polite. Seeing the inside of the Rufus Putnam house was my favorite part. Also enjoyed the migration exhibits.

A surprisingly nice little museum. Being a smaller town in a rural area, you might expect it to be a little crappy but its not! Clean, well maintained, and some great exhibits if youre interested in how westward expansion played out in Ohio. When I was there, they also had a non-permanent Civil War exhibit on loan upstairs. If youre from the area or just driving through, definitely a place to check out if youre into history and learning.

Awesone for local history. Close to home and had no idea

Went to first Fiber Fair and enjoyed it very much.

Very interesting and a fun place to visit with kids! Everyone was so polite and kind and the tour guide was great!

It is significant to Ohio history and our nations history. The employees are friendly and helpful. They are proud of the historical importance of their museums and it is evident. The museum of the NW territory exhibits tell the story of the Ohio Company lead by Rufus Putnam in 1788 and the first permanent organized settlement of the territory.

Kind staff, cool exhibits

This is the museum that highlights the founding of the northwest territory, and the first colony of the United States of America. Carved from this territory, were 6 states now known collectively as the midwest. These states are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnisota. In addition to the history of the NW territory, other topics such as native peoples, the town of Marietta, the prohibition of the slave trade as well as regional migration in and out of Appalachia are covered. The museum houses original structures from the founding as well as artifacts of interest. It is the site of the 1st Masonic lodge (founded in 1776 as a military lodge) meeting in the territory. This is still an active lodge which meets in town. I highly recommend visiting this museum. They have something for everyone and lots of unique things pertaining to the U.S. as a whole.

Great items well displayed.

Interesting place to visit.

Very interesting seminar on WW1 posters and their origins. Informative and enjoyable. Person presenting info very well informed on the subject.

Wonderful early photography exhibit now on display. Journey back to 1788 in the Rufus Putnam home. Enjoy coming here as I always find a new treasure to relish, and learn another nugget of local history and our nations early westward migration.

Great place to go, had aot to see, but it was a little hard to hear the tour guy.

Not bad, the editing couldvec been better

Loved it alot of olftuff

History preserved and respected. The curators were very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the experience.

Unbelievable history in this place, amazing improvement in past few years!

What history. Great place to go and learn about the area. Great staff

My sons class field trip was a success. Learned a lot, hands on activities, so much to see. It cant all be done in one day. Great place.

From the last time I was there they have taken down quite a few exhibits. I am upset at that fact unless they are using them in another museum.

Great place to learn about how the area was settled. Also seeing how things were made and how life was.

Very friendly employee that welcomed/greeted us.

A good place to learn the early history of the Northwest Territory. Has part of the very first structure built in Marietta inside the museum. Worth the visit!

Great history.

Accurate history, beautiful clean museum, easy to navigate with a lot to see in a small place.

I have been here before and it was fun they had cool exibits and also great activities. I was also here for party and it was nicely taken care of.

Thoroughly enjoyed this day. I was joyfully on history overload. Elevators were very welcome.

Fun time, beautiful area next to the river.

Family time and it was great. My 11 year old even had fun.

Lots to see here & very well maintained!

Unbelievable Museum- tons of great artifacts & interesting exhibits!! George Washingtons Masonic Apron & Rufus Putnams house (literally) just to name a couple
