Condition: The postcard is in good vintage condition . It is unposted and features no writing or stamps on the back. There is light edge wear and some minor age-related toning/foxing on the reverse side. A slight reddish smudge is visible on the back, likely from contact with another card or ink during storage, but it does not bleed through to the front image. History of the Location: The Rufus Putnam House is a site of immense historical significance as it is the oldest certain residence in the state of Ohio. Originally built between 1788 and 1791, it was part of the Campus Martius fortification , a stockade built by the Ohio Company of Associates to protect early settlers during the Northwest Indian War. While most of the original fortification was dismantled, General Rufus Putnam’s home was left standing on its original site. In the 1920s, the Campus Martius Museum was built directly around and over the house to preserve it from the elements. The house is still standing today and remains the centerpiece of the museum in Marietta, allowing visitors to walk through the original 18th-century rooms enclosed within the modern museum walls. Standard size of approximately 3.5" x 5.5". Please Examine Pictures for Condition as they are part of the description. May have soiling, minor hairline creases or corner dents.
