Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society

Special Tours

 

Specialized tours can easily address Georgia history while incorporating primary and secondary documents or the rudiments of archeology into the experience. For those groups interested in economics, the Root House Museum, with its gardens and outbuildings, becomes the classroom. Students gain practical insights into the economics of antebellum times, through comparison of menus and stocked pantries, and the housekeeping practices in Georgia’s Piedmont over the decades and the part transportation played in that evolution.

 

For those with an environmental science interest, students enjoy “hands-on” learning experiences based on the housekeeping and gardening practices in a 1850s garden and detached kitchen house, from food preservation to soil and water conservation.

 

 

When the experiences needs to address technology, students easily gain understanding when exposed to the changes and the consistencies in the kitchens of the 1850s, the 1950s and the present. Foodways practices, everyday utensils, and technology of each period come to life as students are exposed to the evolution of a southern staple, the biscuit.
