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...
Viewing the mound and all of the older gravestones really gets you emotional.
Benoni Hurlburt, my 6x Great Grandfather, remembered at the Revolutionary War Veteran's Memorial. Scalped by Indians searching for food by Blennerhassett Island. Grave at Farmer's Castle lost to time and the plow.
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.
