Our Historic Properties
Cobb Landmarks owns and manages several historic structures in Cobb County. Both the William Root House and Manning Family Cabin are open regularly to the general public. The Power Family Cabin is open during member events and scheduled tours.
WILLIAM ROOT HOUSE
The William Root House Museum & Garden offers an accurate portrayal of middle-class life during the 1860s. It is the oldest wood-frame structure in downtown Marietta and hosts thousands of visitors each year. |
POWER FAMILY CABIN
This cabin is believed to have been built by George Abner Power. The cabin is among the last pioneer cabins remaining in Cobb County. The property is not yet open to the general public but can be visited during special events. |
MANNING FAMILY CABIN
This 1830s cabin was occupied by members of the Manning family during the Civil War. The Manning family donated the cabin to Cobb Landmarks in 2018 and it was relocated to the William Root House campus. |
