ATLANTA - Marietta History Center- Rummage and Book Sale:

This morning marks the return of the Marietta History Center’s Rummage and Book Sale, a three-day treasure hunt featuring books, toys, home decor, and more. The annual event happens in the Tumlin Community Room on the first Floor of the Marietta History Center, and all proceeds go right back to the museum, which highlights the city’s fascinating history through a permanent collection of over 50,000 artifacts.

So, let’s talk shopping! The hours for this year’s sale are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, and the sale is free to enter. That said, folks who want to stay and explore the museum have an added incentive to stop by on Saturday — admission is free on that day only.

The Marietta History Center is located at 1 Depot Street, in the historic Kennesaw House (which was built as a cotton warehouse in 1845 and is one of the city’s oldest buildings).
