A recent article in the MDJ regarding low attendance at our local Museum of History is cause for concern. This is a wonderful place, with much work put into the display of the collection of historical artifacts. The heart of this museum, Dan Cox, has poured his passion for local history into every inch, and he is supported by a fine, dedicated staff. They would love to share, show and tell everything they know about the past of our city with you. If you have not checked the museum out yourself, please support our local historians by visiting the museum. Bring your friends and family and encourage others to do the same. You can visit the Marietta History Museum online at their website: www.mariettahistory.org for more information.
So, what do you think? Are people less interested in local history these days? If so, why? Share your opinion!

I think many people in this city don’t even know about the museum. The museum staff needs to do a better job advertising.
I was at the museum recently with my husband and brother and we really enjoyed the history we learned. People need to know that this is a fun and educational place for the entire family.
Kennesaw Mt is one of the most awesome places around to hike. Short walks..long hikes..you name it they have it. A great hike I like is the 9 miles from the base of Kennesaw Mt to Kolb Farm.
