Looking for a family-friendly outing that mixes fun with a dash of education? The Marietta History Center has you covered with its monthly Pop-In event, slated for Saturday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There’s no charge to get in and plenty to see and do, as the center turns the spotlight on the diverse cultures that make up Cobb County. Thanks to local law firm Cauthorn, Owen, and Sanders, stepping into this cultural smorgasbord won’t cost you a dime.

The lineup is packed. Budding bookworms can dive into the Cobb Library’s Georgia Room and cruise with 'Ruby' from 10 a.m. to the whole 4 p.m., or catch the Cobb Bookmobile from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Animal lovers, take note: The Georgia House Rabbits Society has touchable rabbits between noon and 2 p.m. And if you’ve got a young scout in tow, the Atlanta Area Executive Council for Girls Scouts is hosting storytime and a book signing with author Kelly Young-Silverman, who will read from "Hot Boiled Peanuts: A Georgia Food Tour" at 11:15 a.m. And let’s not forget the tunes – Bach 2 Rock is offering a free music class at 12:15 p.m. and a performance at 1 p.m. in Atherton Square, according to the City of Marietta's official website.

The Marietta History Center, situated at 1 Depot Street in Marietta, GA, doesn’t just put on shows; it's committed to fanning the flames of curiosity about Marietta’s storied past. It's a hub where people can come together to connect with history through storytelling and immersive experiences.
