OUR PURPOSE

Cobb Landmarks is a historical society rooted in the past but focused on the future. We are committed to empowering our community with an understanding of the events, people, and places that formed our past, so that we may all strive for a brighter future. We hope that, in doing so, we will inspire the next generation to keep our shared history protected and our memories alive. We appreciate your interest in Cobb Landmarks. Preserving the past is something we strive to accomplish every day, and it wouldn't be possible without your support. We hope you will join us.
