Help the Center’s Artifact Collection Grow!
The Marietta History Center explores not only Marietta’s history but the history of Cobb County as well. We are looking for donations to our collections that help to tell the many stories of Cobb County. Our focus is from the 1830s to the present day and we need your help in order to accomplish our goal. We are especially interested in donations relating to Minority/Underrepresented Communities.

The Museum does not collect items that relate to people, places and events outside of Cobb County. There must a direct connection to Cobb County for items to be considered for the MHC’s collection. Please note that we have strictly limited our collecting of military artifacts to those artifacts related to servicemen and women who were training and/or stationed in Marietta or Cobb County. Also, those who were born and raised in Marietta or Cobb County and enlisted while living here.
