The plotting of the "Great Locomotive Chase" went down in this building, as James Andrews and his Union pals planned things out. A couple of years later, Sherman used the House as his headquarters, as he was burning up just about anything he could set fire to. In fact, he ordered the Kennesaw House burned. Luckily, only the roof and a balcony were lost. As you might imagine, Sherman is not popular in this area.
Now, the building houses the Marietta Museum of History. Not only is the building majorly historic, but it houses an infinite amount of treasures. The museum seems to go on and on with displays relating to businesses that have thrived in the community. There are also very old household items and clothes. There is an incredible military display, including weapons and uniforms from the Civil War, on up through our most recent conflicts.
