Cobb Landmarks recently joined members of the Carter family and distinguished guests to dedicate a historic marker at the Carter Family House. The historic marker was erected through a partnership between Cobb Landmarks and the Marietta History Center’s Diverse Cobb Committee. The committee manages a grant fund created to erect historic markers in historically Black neighborhoods located within the city of Marietta.
