The Archibald Howell Home. Here, in the spring of 1865, Gen. Henry M. Judah had his headquarters and saw evidence which helped him make a decision of much importance to local people. Since no crops had been grown here on the battlefields in 1864 and, as the surrender had paralyzed economy and government, local people lacked foods, funds and employment. Judah, seeing that aid was needed to prevent suffering, proposed to issue corn and bacon to the needy until a crop could be made. The issue, approved, was made and these rations did much to put Georgians and their economy on a sound basis. 033-111 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956

This delaying action, together with Federal artillery fire halted Stevenson's attempt to win his objective. 033-12 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1952

The Bell Bomber Park City of Marietta. This park is dedicated to thousands of men and women who built 665 B-29 bombers that played a major role in bringing the U.S. victory during World War II.

The park is a joint effort of the City of Marietta; the Cobb County Commission; the State of Georgia; the Cobb County Board of Education who gave the land; and the Business and Public Affairs Committee of the Marietta Kiwanis Club, State Senator Steve Thompson, Chairman.
