Walking Tours
Join MHC’s Collections Manager, Christa McCay, M. H. P. for a walk around portions of the Marietta City Cemetery. Walking tours are held in rain or shine conditions. Refunds will only be given if the Marietta History Center cancels the walking tour.
Tombstone Cleaning Workshop
The tombstones in the cemetery are artifacts and are often the only record of the person’s life, but many of these need to be cleaned. These hands-on workshops will help, teach others the proper tools, products, and techniques to use to clean a tombstone, while doing no harm to the stone or the landscape.
