Lindamood / Van Voorhis Boathouse

Lindamood / Van Voorhis Boathouse

Lindamood-Van Voorhis Boat House, uniquely constructed of grindstones quarried near Marietta, was given to the College in 1930 by the Kiwanis Club of Marietta. Located 3/4 mile from campus on the west bank of the Muskingum River, it houses the College’s racing shells and provides facilities for its crews. Extensive renovation, including the addition of a second floor, was completed in 1974.
