About this event

The summer solstice is a celestial event that has been important to cultures around the world for thousands of years. At Marietta, this event was marked by Native Americans with alignments on the prehistoric earthworks. This year for the first time The Castle will celebrate the summer solstice with an outdoor concert by Hominid, featuring world music, and commentary by staff archaeologist Wes Clarke.

Admission is Free, but registration is required.

We encourage guests to bring their own folding chair or blanket, but please note that we can not permit saving spaces on the grounds earlier than 6:30pm. While food and drink are permitted on the grounds, no alcoholic beverages are permitted and the lawn where the concert is taking place will be a smoke-free area. In the case of inclement weather, a rain date has been set for Thursday, June 27 from 7pm - 8:30pm.

The Castle Museum

The Castle Museum has created an environment that immerses our guests in the rich history of Marietta and the Mid-Ohio Valley. We believe when history is saved, preserved, and shared, it serves as the foundation of a strong, vibrant community. We embrace our role as stewards of the grounds, buildings, artifacts, documents, and stories that create The Castle's legacy.

Tours of The Castle are available April through December, but we provide a full calendar of history-related events throughout the year. Archaeology digs, themed house tours, food history dinners, cemetery tours, and summer history camps are among the many programs we offer. New and exciting programs are developed each year to continue to tell the story of our past.

We invite you to visit and connect to the historical legacy of The Castle and our community.
