Black History Walking Tour

This walking tour was created to help share the rich history of Marietta’s Black community. The tour will take participants on a journey through time, from the founding of Marietta through the Civil Rights Movement. Some historic structures still remain, while other sites have been altered or erased over time. We hope the information presented here will help provide participants with a better understanding of the events, people, and places from Marietta’s past that formed our present. This walking tour is approximately 1.5 miles long and should take about one hour to complete.
