PRESERVING OUR PAST FOR THE FUTURE
An urgent message
As a public health precaution in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, we have made the difficult decision to close the Root House Museum temporarily, until further notice. Closing the museum and the gift shop and cancelling scheduled group tours mean a loss of critically important revenue for us. As a private non-profit, every dollar counts and every lost dollar hurts. May we look to you, our community, for a special contribution to Cobb Landmarks to help us weather this difficult time? Thank you very much in advance for your generosity.

HELLO!
My name is Trevor Beemon and I am the Executive Director of Cobb Landmarks. I am also the father of two young children. They represent the future, and I feel that I owe it to them to preserve and share the stories and places that shaped the community we live in. Someday, this responsibility will be passed on to them. It will be their task to keep our shared history protected and our memories alive. Until then, I am happy to do my part to leave them a legacy worth remembering. I 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. |
