To think that my grandfather is buried with the likes of important pioneers (Col. Whipple, Dr. Samuel Hildreth, Rufus Putnam, etc.) that founded Marietta in what was then the Northwest Territories and the beautiful mound is amazing.This is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever visited. I have visited quite a few. I have been here numerous times, but this visit was brought to you by “The Pioneers” by David McCullough .
This is a must stop for anyone that is in or around Marietta, Ohio... not only does the Cemetery have tons of early Pioneer, Revolutionary War folks buried in it, by the Hopewell Indian Mound which has been preserved is absolutely amazing to see.... with the Mound Ring and Trench surrounding the Burial Mound, you will be totally thrilled with this visit...
A beautiful place full of brave souls who gave all for what they believed in, loved ones who have gone on from this world and an ancient burial mound. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions.
Very quaint, well maintained, and historic cemetery.
Glory be! We went there to search up my husbands family, and it didnt take long, since it was nicely tended. Very nice, the neighborhood around it is stunning and the people very nice.
Cant beat the work the mound builders did!Simply awesome native mound.
If youre in Marietta and into cemeteries, it is a must stop.
If youre interested in the history of the area, a stroll through the cemetery is a worthwhile trip. Theres a large native burial mound there with a peaceful rest stop at the top.
What an awesome experience! Cant wait to come back
God bless all the souls that rest here
