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.
