MARIETTA - On Friday, September 27, 2019, the Marietta Museum of History is continuing its popular program, the Remember When Club, by inviting the Marietta High School Class of 1969, who are celebrating their 50th class reunion, to the club and remember their years as a Marietta Blue Devil.
1969 was year of world changing events. Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon and uttered the immortal words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The opposition to the war continued to increase with more and more attending antiwar demonstrations. "WOODSTOCK" took place on a New York farm. Join the Class of ’69 as they share their memories of these events and more!
The Remember When Club explores what life was like in Cobb County when Highway 41 was known as the 4-lane, everyday shopping was done on the Square and life was just a little bit simpler. The Remember When Club discusses a different topic each session and encourages the audience to participate by sharing their memories.
The Marietta Museum of History uses ordinary objects to tell the extraordinary stories of Marietta and Cobb County.
When: Friday, September 27, 2019 starting at 10:30am
Where: Marietta Museum of History, 1 Depot Street, Marietta, GA 30060
