Mural Tours of Marietta

The new tri-fold brochure provides a guide to more than 40 murals located within walking distance of downtown Marietta. The murals of Marietta exemplify the continued tradition of art through the eras and were painted by local artists. Some are profound, others whimsical, but all tell unique stories. Dating back to as early as 1938 and as recent as 2007, each mural depicts a historic event or a cultural reference relevant to the city, region or state.

The murals vary from outdoor works that show southern landscapes in Tampico Mexican Restaurant, to historic paintings of the Northwest Territory Settlement, in the Marietta City Building. Other murals depict historic relics, such as the Glass Press mural which shows a drawing for the first machine ever patented to press glass, or scenes from the Ohio or Muskingum Rivers.

The new brochures are a great edition to all of the wonderful historic opportunities and activities that Marietta has to offer.
