Marietta, Ohio
Mound Cemetery
5th and Scammel Streets 
Marietta, Ohio

Chartered in 1796, First Congregational Church was the Northwest Territory's first organized church. Using Rufus Putnam's "Two Horn" plan, the church was dedicated in 1809. In 1905 the first building burned, and this church was built the following year.

This cemetery was built by the Adena Indians between 800 BC and 100 AD. When the original settlers came to Marietta in 1788, the directors of the Ohio Company designated all mounds in the town as public places and made specific provisions for their preservation.

 HISTORIC  LOCAL CEMETERIES


Mound Cemetery

Located 5th and Scammel Streets 
Marietta. Ohio

    The famous mound in Mound Cemetery located in the heart of the City has more Revolutionary War officers buried than at any other point in America
    Marietta, the first settlement in the Northwest Territory, is home to one of the oldest pioneer burial grounds west of the Appalachian Mountains: Mound Cemetery. General Rufus Putnam, who led the settlers here and founded the city, donated the plot of land surrounding this large Indian mound in January 1801, and the first burial took place in October of that same year--that of Revolutionary War veteran Robert Taylor.
    In its early years, Mound Cemetery saw the burial of more than twenty-five Revolutionary War soldiers, including Rufus Putnam himself. Many of the Revolutionary War veterans went west to pursue their fortunes and start families, and a large number of them are interred here. Below you can see the Revolutionary soldiers' memorial: a grid of metal memorial stars.
    At the center of the graveyard is the Indian mound, which is thirty feet tall and can be climbed using a staircase. Signs warn you that it's a major crime to leave the staircase and trample the mound--maybe because the cemetery is a registered National Landmark. Historians agree that the Hopewell Indians built the mound, even though most of Marietta's famous earthworks were built by the Adena.
