Campus Martius, a civilian fortification, was built in 1788 by the Ohio Company of Associates. In 1931, Campus Martius Museum was erected over the Rufus Putnam blockhouse. The Ohio Company Land Office, the oldest known building in Ohio, was moved to the museum site. Today, the museum preserves the history of America's migration west, its earliest native inhabitants, and Marietta's pioneers.
