Synopsis

The Mariemont Concourse is a neighborhood destination spot.  It is a small, but lovely community park featuring a large stone pergola covered with wisteria and overlooking the Little Miami River and farm fields beyond.  The stone used to build the pergola is full of fossils.  A railroad line crosses the river and stretches across the valley as far as the eye can see.  The Village of Mariemont hosts occasional events here and it is also a prime spot for high school Senior photos.
