Marietta Revisited

Marietta is one of the largest and most historic cities in northwest Georgia.

As one of Atlanta's largest suburbs, Marietta is the home and workplace for thousands of Georgians, and has been a homestead since 1834. A series of unfortunate fires in the 1850s partially destroyed the city, and caught fire once again in 1864 as part of Sherman's March to the Sea. Some of Marietta's history has been preserved, but much of it has been lost to the ravages of war, time, and gentrification. Then and Now: Marietta Revisited takes the reader down Marietta's streets through time, back into what is almost a different world than the modern small city we know today.
