For those with a hankering for history, the Marietta City Cemetery is busting out guided tours that promise a deep dive into the city's past with a side of fresh air. According to details from a recent announcement, you can lace up your walking shoes and get ready to tread along the same gravel paths that folks have traveled since the 1830s.

The walks, curated by Christa McCay, Collections Manager at the Marietta History Center, aren’t your run-of-the-mill history lessons – they're fixed on plucking the unseen threads of Marietta's tapestry, and on April 27 and May 11, history buffs will get up close and personal with wartime tales and motherly tributes, respectively. The tour on April 27, packed with World War II memories, will lead you from 10:30am to the high noon sun, just as the following tour on May 11th will honor the maternal figures that shaped the city, the walks are meant not only to educate but also resonate with attendees on personal levels.

It's open weather policy with these events, meaning a little rain won't dampen the spirit of the tour, so come prepared, for it's no place for fancy footwear—comfort is king on these rocky routes. Just in case anyone was worrying about buyer's remorse, refunds are a no-show unless Marietta History Center pulls the plug on the tour itself.

Here's the scoop if you're thinking of joining: tickets run for $15 a pop, but MHC Members can snag theirs for almost half that at $7, however, tickets can be purchased through the Museum’s online store. And don’t dilly dally because each tour can only squeeze in a cozy group of 25. If you need to ring them up for more deets or to secure your spot, the Marietta History Center can be reached at 770-794-5710 or peep their site at www.MariettaHistory.org.
