Choose a boarding location of Lancaster Fun Bus Terminal, Reynoldsburg Walmart, Jacksontown Park & Ride, Zanesville Visitor's Bureau, or Cambridge Walmart to begin your journey to Blennerhassett Island located on the Ohio River near Parkersburg, WV. Your day kicks off with a Fun Bus boxed lunch picnic at Fort Boreman Park overlooking the scenic valley formed by the confluence of the Little Kanawha and Ohio Rivers. After you've refueled for the day, you'll board the ferry boat to Blennerhassett Island. Enjoy a mansion tour and wagon ride around the island, and learn about the interesting history of the Blennerhassett family.
Next up is a visit to the Blennerhassett Museum followed by hotel check-in at the historic Lafayette Hotel in Marietta. Spend the evening enjoying downtown Marietta and get dinner on your own.
The next day, after you've had breakfast at the hotel, you're treated to a step-on guided tour of Marietta followed by lunch aboard the Valley Get riverboat.
The last stop on this tour is at the Campus Martius Museum — a civilian stockade built in 1788 as the first organized American settlement in the Northwest Territory. See the Ohio Company Land Office, reportedly the oldest building in Ohio, and the Rufus Putnam House, once part of the Campus Martius stockade. Exhibits trace the early settlement of Ohio, as well as later migrations of rural Ohioans to cities and industrial centers.
