I really enjoyed this little gem! The Vietnam Black Soldiers Portrait Project was... I don't have the words, but the photographer did an amazing job. I didn't realize that Georgia had so much gold in the past. All of Marietta's history seemed pretty interesting and the displays really helped bring it to life. There is a really huge and impressive gun collection in here. I spent about an hour here and definitely could have stayed a little longer. I like that the displays got to the point pretty quickly, there wasn't a ton of reading to do. Also free for military with ID! Otherwise, $10 well spent.
The staff was so incredibly sweet. They made us feel so welcome. Each person engaged with us and made the experience more interesting to my small children. Definitely recommend coming if you want a historical place to visit with adults or children. Will come back again Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here! The museum is huge, so make sure to leave yourself enough time to walk around. The man working there was glad to fill us in on the background of many relics. When you’re done with the museum, the town of Marietta has a ton to offer. Historic downtown is just steps away from the museum. Well-worth your time!
Enjoyed the museum a lot. It has a great history selection and a nice lay out. I can't believe we didn't visit this place sooner.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
Marietta History Center was very interesting and enjoyable to visit. I purchased a Groupon and had no issues redeeming it. The staff were very friendly and were able to answer any questions we had throughout our tour. This is definitely a great place to visit with older family members/friends if you’re in Marietta Square.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Great exhibits, staff know the area and history well if you have questions. Lots to look at for a small building. We were in there for just a little less than an hour.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
Interesting experience. I went on one of the free days, and the staff was polite and helpful. The museum is small but features a lot of information. I appreciate the fact that they include the African American contributions to Marietta in the museum.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Great museum. Hidden gem. Really nice small arms collection.
I was surprised that after living in this area for so long that I, a lover of history museums had never been here. The staff could not have been nicer and left me on my own to explore the site, which was appreciated. There was a couple of other groups, but we were so far spaced from each other, it basically felt like I was alone for most of the visit. The donated exhibits are amazing, and it is a surreal feeling being surrounded by all these historic artifacts. I was so interested in everything I learned from this visit that I immediately went home and watched The Great Locomotive Chase. My only complaint would be the numerous spelling errors on the information boards. In my opinion it isn't a good look for a History center.
This is one of the best museums I have ever been in! I loved it from start the outside campus to the very end! Our tour guide was very known and added quite a bit to our tour! I honestly can't say enough good things about it! Everyone should go atleast once!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$1–5
