Marietta, One of Ohio’s Best Hometowns

November 28, 2006

Ohio Magazine named Marietta one of Ohio’s Best Hometowns. “Ohio’s oldest settlement, shows its resilience.” states Clare Decapua, author of the November article.

Decapua describes Marietta “as the kind of place that not only draws tourists, but also attracts new residents, from young families to retirees, to settle into its uncommon charm.

The article delves into the soul of Marietta, a town, “our” town, a town comfortable with “old and new, sleepy and active, old-fashioned and progressive, attributes, which are part of the intangible appeal of a hometown that’s surrounded by so much obvious natural beauty.”
