Preservation PRIORITIES
When historic buildings are torn down or allowed to deteriorate, a part of the past disappears forever. When that happens, individuals lose the opportunity to have physical contact with the places where the region’s identity was established and community’s character was shaped. Below are some of the historic sites Cobb Landmarks is actively working to preserve. Click here to view the full list.

Acworth Mill & Odd Fellows HallThis building was likely constructed just after the Civil War. Originally used as a tannery, it was later enlarged and used as a buggy factory, mill, mercantile store, and warehouse. The second floor was used by the "Colored Masons and Odd Fellows" during the 1930s. Cobb Landmarks is working to secure a future for the structure.
