Hear "Beautiful Ohio," our state song, courtesy of Patricia Walter on the River Boat page. Hear "Ole Man River" on the Flood Pictures page. Hear more and enjoy more pictures of Marietta at The Six Dog Studio .
If you are having trouble with the music, try refreshing the page.
"What's New" is a list of additions to the web site. We are grateful to our visitors who have graciously shared their family records and photos. Visit the link to the left and see what has been added since your latest visit to newportohiohistory.
Please visit the "DVD" page by clicking on the link to the left. The DVD is a remarkable presentation of pioneer and Washington County history. We are still taking orders. Sit back, enjoy the music as you travel with pioneers to the Ohio Valley and their descendants as they traveled to the 1908 reunion. And, let's not forget the 2008 reunion and those who gathered at the river. This DVD is a lovely reminder of one family's amazing story. If you were at the reunion, you will want this keepsake. If you were not at the reunion, you will want to experience the excitement of that weekend. And, imagine your children and grandchildren discovering their family story while being entertained!
Learn more about the photo below by visiting the "DVD" page.

We are pleased to announce the addition of two new links on our web site.
The "Upcoming Reunions" page will provide our guests with the details on upcoming reunions or events of interest to families with ties to Newport. Our first reunion posting is for the descendants of John Wesley Bayless (1845-1919). Please check for subsequent additions.
The "Ask Your Questions" page will provide our guests with a space on which to post questions to which other visitors to the site may have answers. We will post contact information for those who give us permission to do so. For all others, all answers will be routed through either Marlene Morris or Susy Wetz. If you have any reservations about posting your contact information, we suggest you allow Marlene or Susy to forward responses.
