Marietta is more than “The Big Chicken.”
It has a charming central square with lots of Antique Shops, but the Police are everywhere, so drive the speed limit, park legally and enjoy the small-town folks.

In Marietta you will also find the Marietta National Cemetery and a sadly neglected Confederate Cemetery of mostly blank grave markers for Confederate soldiers who were almost all unknowns when the were finally buried.
