Inscription. The Methodist Church of Marietta was founded with thirty-seven members in 1833. For four years Rev. John P. Dickenson led services in the Cobb County Court House. On this site in 1837 the congregation built its first building, a log cabin church. To commemorate its history in Marietta and to celebrate its one hundred seventy-fifth anniversary as a church, this replica log cabin and the surrounding park were dedicated in October 2008 to all who worship and offer their service in the name of God.
