MARIETTA - Cobb Landmarks is excited to announce the return of the Root House Harvest Dinner, a special evening of rustic elegance at the William Root House. This popular experience includes an intimate meal served in the picturesque gardens surrounding the 1840s home. Guests will be seated at antique farmhouse tables and enjoy a southern-style dinner, including appetizers, fried chicken, seasonal vegetables, and dessert. Iced tea and water will be served. Space is limited and the event always sells out. Table reservations are open at RootHouseMuseum.com/Harvest.

WHAT: Root House Harvest Dinner

WHEN: September 7, 2024 6:00pm-8:30pm

WHERE: William Root House | 80 N Marietta Parkway, NW | Marietta, GA 30060

ABOUT THE WILLIAM ROOT HOUSE: The Root House Museum is the first house museum in the U.S. to offer a fully self-guided touchscreen tour. One of the oldest homes in the Atlanta area, the Root House is more typical of its time and place than the columned mansions popularized by Gone With the Wind. While the home and grounds have been meticulously restored to their 1860 appearance, interactive electronic displays have been added to tell the story of the Root family and their enslaved house servants.
ABOUT COBB LANDMARKS: Since its founding in 1974, Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society, Inc. has succeeded in preserving and protecting some of Cobb's most historically relevant sites. Cobb Landmarks is a historical society rooted in the past but always looking forward. The organization is committed to empowering the community with an understanding of the events, people, and places that formed our past, so that we may all strive for a brighter future.
