Marietta Museum of History Announces Holiday Hours

From the City of Marietta:

The Marietta Museum of History is pleased to announce its hours of operation during the Holiday Season. During Thanksgiving week when children are out of school and family and friends are visiting from out of town, make sure you avoid the crowds and the traffic at the malls by visiting the Marietta Museum of History. Touring the Museum is a perfect way to spend the Thanksgiving holidays!

During the week of Thanksgiving, the museum will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and open from 10am – 4pm on Monday, 11/21, Tuesday, 11/22 and Wednesday, 11/23, Friday, 11/25 and Saturday, 11/26.

The Museum uses ordinary objects to tell the extraordinary stories of Marietta and Cobb County's rich history and culture. Galleries and exhibits cover topics such as military history, home life throughout the centuries, technology and local businesses from our past. Current exhibits include Shoppin' Southern Style: Fashions from the mid-20th Century and BOOM! Toys of the Baby Boomer Generation.

The Museum Store has a great selection of unique gifts including: books about local places and events; books by local authors; authentic Civil War artifacts; t-shirts; mugs, ornaments; and much more. We have a large selection of Big Chicken items, too. Shop Small, Shop Local, and support a good cause!
