Pioneer Living
Enjoy a self-guided tour of Campus Martius Museum and the Rufus Putnam House as well as experiencing pioneer life by participating in two of the following programs: Pioneer Clothing, Ordinance of 1787, Underground Railroad, or Revolutionary War Military Drill. (Additional programs are offered at an additional cost)
My Favorite Things Tour
Join a staff member and learn the stories behind their favorite artifacts. Learn the amusing, sad, or unbelievable stories that you won’t learn by touring the museum on your own. Decide for yourself if they are myths and legends or absolute truth.
Dessert with a Pioneer
What would you like to ask Rufus Putnam if you had the opportunity? What about Mary Bird Lake or Mary Gardner Owen? Now is your chance to mingle with early settlers. Enjoy a dessert and a visit with a person from the past. Learn more about what it was like to nurse people who are sick with small pox or be the first woman to arrive in Marietta. What was it like to survey a wilderness and settle a new frontier?
