Campus Martius
Ohio History
Fort on the River
Are you tired of baby chick photos yet? Well, back to another historical trip, we’re taking the two-and-a-half hour drive to the southeast edge of Ohio: Marietta and the Ohio River. First we visited the Campus Martius Museum and saw a Conestoga wagon, surveyors’ equipment, and pioneer tools. This topographical model shows the Campus Martius fort built here on the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers in 1788. I thought it was pretty impressive!

That is a beautiful area down there in southern Ohio.

Your shot makes it look lifelike.
Interesting model! Are those two little boats in the river? They sure don't look like the modern giants we use today!
I like how the museums do those real-life models.
