We went to the Marietta Museum of History tonight to see an
excellent presentation of the History of
Acworth, Georgia by Davis McCollum (O.M.). He is an O.A. too.
Did you know the area of Acworth used to be called Northcutt
Station? A Mr. Northcutt was the depot
master there, so it was named after him.
Before that it was Little Shanty.
And of course Big Shanty was Kennesaw. Which brings up the fact that Big Shanty/Kennesaw was at one time called Moon Station because
the train depot master there was a Mr.Moon.
Davis had plenty of stories and old pictures of Acworth in his slide
presentation and also progress of the city and still trying to retain the old
landmark houses and buildings.
I did not get to take any pictures during the presentation
because the room was too dark for the
slide show. And after that was over I
could either sample the many little finger foods or take pictures.... guess
which I chose.
The pictures you see here are pictures I took before and
after outside the Kennesaw House.
