Wanted to share this stunning sunrise behind Acworth's 1904 Armstrong Building. Named for John Armstrong, the building was remodeled and enlarged 1906. Today it's home to Henry's Louisiana Grill & Henry's Uptown. Have a great day!

The Old Zion Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has a profound history. Zion Baptist Church was established by former slaves who previously worshipped at Marietta’s First Baptist Church. By the end of the Civil War, the 88 Black members were prepared to break away from the First Baptist Church and create a church of their own. On April 8, 1866, almost exactly a year after the Civil War ended, Zion Baptist Church was established with Brother Ephra...im B. Rucker as Pastor. A wood-frame structure on the site was replaced in 1888 by the brick structure you see today. The church played a major role in the community, and served as a place for congregants to meet for worship and to discuss social and political issues that affected their community. This historic landmark is now operated as a museum. #BlackHistoryMonth See more

We invited our friends from Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar to the William Root House to try setting up a Victorian-style tea party. They had to follow strict instructions taken from Mrs. Crowen's American Lady's Cookery Book, published in the 1860s. Watch to see how they did!
