The marker shown below was purchased with the proceeds from the sale of Shall We Gather at the River? It is a reminder that the family met in Newport in 1908 and again in 2008. Perhaps it will inspire our grandchildren and great grandchildren to gather at the river in 2108.
Hear "Beautiful Ohio," our state song, courtesy of Patricia Walter on the River Boat page. Hear "Ole Man River" on the Flood Pictures page. Hear more and enjoy more pictures of Marietta at The Six Dog Studio .
If you are having trouble with the music, try refreshing the page.
"What's New" is a list of additions to the web site. We are grateful to our visitors who have graciously shared their family records and photos. Visit the link to the left and see what has been added since your latest visit to newportohiohistory.
Please visit the "DVD" page by clicking on the link to the left. The DVD is a remarkable presentation of pioneer and Washington County history. We are still taking orders. Sit back, enjoy the music as you travel with pioneers to the Ohio Valley and their descendants as they traveled to the 1908 reunion. And, let's not forget the 2008 reunion and those who gathered at the river. This DVD is a lovely reminder of one family's amazing story. If you were at the reunion, you will want this keepsake. If you were not at the reunion, you will want to experience the excitement of that weekend. And, imagine your children and grandchildren discovering their family story while being entertained!
Learn more about the DVD by visiting the "DVD" page.
