Welcome!
It's 2009 and that means it's time for a party! This year Marietta is celebrating its 175th anniversary and we want you to be a part of the festivities.
On this Web site, you'll find information about how to volunteer, a calendar of events, and information about Marietta's past, present and future.
On the "Calendar" page, you'll find a monthly listing of events celebrating Marietta's 175th anniversary, including things like the 175th anniversary celebration parade on July 4. The calendar of events will include something for everyone, so make sure to check back often to see what's happening.
To help celebrate the people, organizations, and events that make Marietta such a special place, this site is broken into three sections: past, present and future.
Visitors who browse the "Past" section of the Web site will find tidbits and little known facts commemorating Marietta's history. On the "Present" page, you will find press releases about the redevelopment projects taking place around Marietta and the exciting changes to the Square, making Marietta the home of live theatre. The "Future" section will highlight plans for the community and ideas for things to come.
Marietta's 175th anniversary is going to be an exciting year honoring our past, celebrating the present and looking to the future.
Let's make 2009 a year of celebration!
Happy Birthday, Marietta!
