A early postcard view of downtown Marietta from Harmar Hill. Local postcards, many colorized versions of black and white photos, were once extremely popular.

If you have a recent photo that showcases the beauty of the Mid-Ohio Valley, submit it to Art Smith at asmith@mariettatimes.com for possible inclusion on this page.
