Second, it's a historic Civil War site in which the Union soldiers built a fort in 1863 to protect the railroad (Baltimore & Ohio) from enemy fire or occupation by the Confederate army. Third, it was not overly crowded and parking is easily available within a short walk of the viewpoint. It only takes 15 minutes to admire the lovely views of the Ohio river It also provides a sense of the strategic importance of the fort's strategic location as a sentinel of enemy movements. Enjoy your visit!

We went to Fort Boreman Historical Park, which…read moreis high over Parkersburg with beautiful views of the river city including Belpry Ohio and both rivers, the Ohio and Little Kanawha.

The Muskingum River system of locks and dams is the oldest of its kind in the USA. No wonder. At…read morethe business end of the river is the town of Marietta, the oldest settlement in the Northwest Territory. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, the river flooded terribly in the spring and dried up in the summer. Starting in 1836, Ohio built 11 hand-operated locks and dams that made the Muskingum navigable from Marietta to the Ohio and Erie Canal. But the locks and dams deteriorated to useless until about 1960 when the state took ownership again. Today it's managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Thankfully! Today the 11 locks are: #11 Ellis, #10 Zanesville, #9 Duncan Falls/Philo, #8 Eagleport, #7 McConnelsville, #6. Stockport, #5 Luke Chute, #4. Beverly, #3. Lowell, #2. Devol's, and #1 Marietta. You can see the engineering of #2 in this video of the Valley Gem in lock #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F764XLNZaI I have been on the Valley Gem in the lock. The engineering is stunning in its simplicity in controlling the better part of a million gallons of water. On my visit to #2 way back in the fall of 2018, I got to meet the manager of the lock, who showed us around. Free tour. It's one those places where you can sense the awesome power even when it's quiet.

On Sunday January 8, 2023, my entire family visited Emerson Bowling Alley to have a Birthday party…read moreand celebrate my 59th birthday! We had a blast and the bowling alley was packed!!! (Other parties not just mine) We reserved 2 lanes #45-46 for my blowout bowling comeback. There was about 14 of us total. For $90 we got both lanes for 2 hours of Cosmic Light Bowling (black lights, disco balls and loud 80s Rock) Kids loved it. We had a 4 yr old, 6 yr old and 9 yr old who told me it was the best birthday party EVER!!! That $90 also included the shoe rental for all my guest, 2 large pizzas one pepperoni and the other plain cheese with 2 pitchers of soda. We brought in our own cupcakes. We had a great time and we are planning another bowling trip in mid February. Highly recommend. Lots of fun, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The bar in the bowling alley offers full bar menu. There is also hot dogs, popcorn and pretzels. My hubby enjoyed the Buckets of Beer with my brother.

First off, it's huge! Plenty of lanes. You can get discounted prices if you come in early in the day. They have cosmo bowling, which is a whole lot of fun! They've got a great snack selection at the concession like pizza, chips, sodas, beer and candy. Now I live in Virginia, but even made it a point to stop and play a few games with family when I was in town. Great bowling alley!

As with any small town theaters you will often see the same performers in different roles which can be interesting. Pricing is about normal for what they offer and the market they're in. Musicals typically sell out. Go opening night for bogo free! The second night of the show (Saturday) is typically hospitality night with free appetizers served at intermission. They put on a good show in a small town and are very successful at it. Keep up the great work Actors Guild! STRONG recommend -DY

The problem is the inattentive staff who really don't care if you buy anything or not. We walked in and were basically ignored by all staff. Too busy on their phones and just standing around shooting the breeze. Felt awkward as soon as we entered because of this. Tried to strike up a conversation with one of the staff but was just meh. Was going to buy a suspension fork, crankshaft, and whatever else I could for my new bike build but we just left because it didn't feel like our business mattered. As much as I'd prefer to support a local business, I need that business to care just as much about me and its own business as I do. Sadly, I doubt we'll go back. No real reason to drive 25 to 30 minutes to be ignored. I can get the same level of customer service online since it was hands off, impersonal, and cold. Sad to have to leave such a bleak review because I was hoping to build a relationship with a bike shop near my new hometown.
