Backroad Explore the Buckeye

Cruise your way through Belmont County — the only county in the state with three official Ohio scenic byways.

Ohio River Scenic Byway

The history-rich Ohio River Scenic Byway offers almost continuous views of the Ohio River as it winds its way through Belmont County along State Route 7. Points of interest include the Sedgwick House Museum and Walnut Grove Cemetery in Martins Ferry, the final resting place of the Zane and Martin families dating back to 1798. The National Imperial Glass Museum offers exquisite examples of Imperial glass, including their famous Candlewick and Cape Cod designs. Don’t miss the Great Stone Viaduct, a relic of the region’s railroad history — you can drive under the structure and stroll along a new walking trail and plaza.
