Marietta Castle was built in 1855 on top of the hill above what is today's Marietta's Historic District by Melvin C. Clarke, a prominent local attorney and abolitionist, as a home for his family. The castle's octagonal tower, stone capped spires, and trefoil attic window make it a great example of Gothic Revival architecture.

A number of people have made this castle their home throughout history, and the last owner, Stewart Bosley, deeded it to the Betsey Mills Corporation "as an historical asset for the City of Marietta with such asset to be used for educational and public purposes." The castle is now open to the public and serves as a venue for concerts, social events and celebrations. It is registered on the National Register of Historic Places.
