[edit] Summary

Picketed Point stockade in Marietta

Fort Harmar near Marietta

The Campus Martius fortification at the Marietta, Ohio settlement. Home to Rufus Putnam, Benjamin Tupper, Arthur St. Clair, and other settlers during the Northwest Indian War. Construction began in 1788 and was fully completed in 1791. The Campus Martius was located on the east side of the Muskingum River, and upriver from its confluence with the Ohio River.

The other fortification at the Marietta settlement was the Picketed Point stockade, built during 1791 on the east side of the mouth of the Muskingum River at its confluence with the Ohio, and directly across the Muskingum from Fort Harmar. Fort Harmar was constructed several years earlier in 1785, on the west side of the mouth of the Muskingum River.
