Marietta has a rich and storied past, and there are several organizations that work hard to preserve her history and celebrate her future. We invite you to explore some of our most popular cultural arts organizations.

THE MARIETTA GONE WITH THE WIND MUSEUM

472 Powder Springs Street
Marietta, GA 30064

Highlights of the museum include the original Bengaline honeymoon gown worn by Vivien Leigh in her role as Scarlett O'Hara, as well as Margaret Mitchell's personal volumes of the novel, foreign editions, and an educational display dedicated to the African American cast members, including Oscar-winner Hattie McDaniel. Also included, are rare press and publicity books, original scripts and contracts of the cast members, as well as conceptual artwork.

MARIETTA HISTORY CENTER

1 Depot St
Marietta, GA 30060
www.mariettahistory.org

Open since 1996, this museum houses the largest collection artifacts relating to Marietta and Cobb County’s history. Galleries and exhibits feature collections from General History, Home Life and Military. The Marietta History Center is dedicated to preserving the history of Marietta and Cobb County by providing an educational, enlightening, and engaging experience.

WILLIAM ROOT HOUSE MUSEUM AND GARDEN

80 North Marietta Pkwy NW
Marietta, GA 30060
www.roothousemuseum.com

One of the oldest homes in the Atlanta area, the Root House is more typical of its time and place than the columned mansions popularized by Gone With the Wind. Though the home and grounds have been meticulously restored to their 1860 appearance, modern touchscreens and interactive displays have been added to help tell the story of the Root family and their enslaved house servants.
