It's the kind of place where you can walk down the street and say "hi" to people and they'll say "hi" right back at you!

There are wonderful parks, great hiking and biking areas, high-quality restaurants, and shopping - whether you like a mall or the uniqueness of small stores on main street. Our area is big on heritage and the many fairs and festival reflect that passion. Marietta College gives its hometown a New England feel. Ohio University and the community of Athens, Ohio, are nearby. The Ohio River is the common thread that runs through everything and the Blennerhassett State Park, located on an island of the same name very close to Parkersburg, is a historic and beautiful place to get away to on a summer day.
