Make a gift to keep history alive

Since 1994, The Castle Historic House Museum has opened its doors to nearly four thousand visitors per year and our educational programming has engaged many others in our local community. As one of the most popular historic sites in Southeastern Ohio, The Castle relies on donations as one of our main avenues of support.

Help us preserve The Castle for future generations

Together, we can ensure that The Castle continues to inspire, educate, and bring people together.

When you give to the Marietta Castle, you’re doing more than supporting a historical landmark—you’re preserving a vital piece of our shared heritage. Your generosity helps us host engaging community events, provide educational programs for all ages, and maintain this cherished museum for years to come.

"Raise the Roof" to preserve history

Your support for the "Raise the Roof" campaign goes beyond maintaining buildings—it ensures a richer, more immersive experience for every visitor to The Castle. By funding the replacement of the slate roof on the carriage house, summer kitchen, and garage, as well as restoring the carriage house cupola and updating gutters and downspouts, you’re helping to preserve the architectural integrity that makes The Castle so special.

This project, guided by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, will protect these spaces from the elements, allowing us to continue offering engaging exhibits, events, and activities in a safe and beautiful setting. With your help, we can keep history alive and thriving for everyone who visits.
