Campus Martius was the second fortification in Marietta, Ohio and the first primarily for civilian defense. The Rufus Putnam House, incorporated in the Museum, is the only remaining part of the fortification.[2] The museum also includes the Ohio Company Land Office. Both are National Register of Historic Places properties. The museum is located a block from the Ohio River Museum.
