Also, the museum is dedicated to capturing what is happening in the community by collecting history related to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Museum Executive Director Jan Galt.

That includes pictures, stories and physical artifacts from Marietta and Cobb County to document this time for future generations, she said in a city statement.

The museum’s galleries and exhibits cover topics such as military history, home life throughout the centuries, technology and local businesses from the past.

Current temporary exhibits include “The Man with the Camera: Photographs by Raymond T. Burford” and “Made by Her Hands: The Beauty, Warmth and Stories of Local Quilting.”
