1. The O'Neill Center is looking forward to moving into 2022 with a renewed vision for how they serve the senior population in Washington County. If you know someone who might benefit from a nice lunch every weekday, the center invites you to check out lunches served by Community Action in the parking lot where they show movies, have parties, play games, exercise, and have all kinds of fun, both in Marietta and at the Belpre Senior Center. (Marietta Times)
2. Visitors can go back in time to the Victorian period and get a taste of what Christmas was back then. The Castle of Marietta is offering Christmas tours for the first time and there were stories to tell. The Castle was built in 1855 and several prominent residents have lived there.(Marietta Times)
