The Marietta History Center is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the exhibition titled “Marietta History Center at 30.” This retrospective showcases the museum’s journey from its founding in 1996 to its current role as a key historical institution for Marietta and Cobb County, located in the historic Kennesaw House.
The exhibition is structured in four chronological chapters, highlighting the museum’s evolution over three decades. In addition to a timeline of significant events, guests will gain insight into the museum’s operations, including the vital contributions of volunteers and the process of accepting artifacts into the permanent collection. A notable focus of the exhibit is the Kennesaw House itself—originating as a cotton warehouse in the 1840s and later functioning as the Fletcher House hotel—this building has withstood significant historical events, including the Civil War.
The exhibition runs from January 31 through late Fall 2026. Admission is priced at $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors (60+), while members, children under 5, and active military personnel and veterans can enter free of charge.
