Tour Highlights

~ Marietta Square / Glover Park
The Square is built on land donated to the city in 1852 by Marietta's first mayor, John H. Glover. He gave the land with the stipulation that if it were ever used for anything other than a park, the land would revert back to the family estate. On the west side of Glover Park stands the Clay Statue, which was dedicated in 1912. Alexander Stephens Clay was a prominent political figure between 1880-1910 and served two terms as a U.S. Senator from Georgia.

~ Western & Atlantic Depot
This passenger depot was built in October 1898 by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway Co. The contractor of the project was C.E. Henderson. It was built on the site of the original Western Atlantic Depot, c. 1840s which was burned by General William T. Sherman's troops in 1864. The red brick building with the distinctive Dutch gables served as the passenger depot until the 1950s. Today it houses the Marietta Welcome Center & Visitors Bureau.

~ National Cemetery
The National Cemetery, which was established in 1866, consists of about 23 acres of land. The land, given by Henry G. Cole, was originally offered as a joint Confederate and Union Cemetery hoping that it would heal the ill feelings between the North and the South. When this effort failed. Mr. Cole offered it as a cemetery for the Union dead. The Federal Government accepted, and more than 10,000 Union soldiers are buried there, 3,000 of whom are unknown. Soldiers representing five subsequent wars are also buried there.

~ Tranquilla
This Greek Revival structure was built in 1849 by General Andrew J. Hansell, who served as Representative and State Senator from Cobb County, and was Adjutant General of Georgia. The Hansells occupied the house between 1849-1867. During the Civil War, the house was occupied by Federal officers, and much damage resulted. Mrs. Hansell, who refused to abandon the home, prevented more damage occurring.

~ Kennesaw Mountain
In June of 1864, General William T. Sherman's advance toward Atlanta was delayed for two weeks at Kennesaw Mountain, just west of downtown Marietta. The Union Army, marching from Chattanooga to Marietta along the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was met by the Confederates entrenched along the ridge tops of Kennesaw Mountain, south towards Powder Springs Road, thereby blocking Union movement. The 2,888 acre National Park preserves the battleground where the Confederate army temporarily stopped the Union advance southward before the fall of Atlanta.

~ Root House
The Root House is one of Marietta's oldest residences. This typical Virginia plain plantation house was the home of William Root, one of Marietta's pioneer businessmen. He opened Marietta's first drug store and helped establish St. James Episcopal Church. The House was given to the Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society who restored it and operates it as a museum.
