1. The Manning Cabin Marker

Inscription. Originally located on Macland Road in Marietta, Georgia, this c. 1830 log cabin was the home of the Manning family during the Civil War. In 1990 the cabin was slated for demolition as part of a road-widening project, so the Manning descendants dismantled it and reconstructed it in Powder Springs. In 2016 the family donated the cabin to Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society who moved it to the Root House Museum campus in 2018.
