First Sunday Lecture Series: A Window on the Past: Smyrna, 1953

Thank you, Dr. Marchione for today's First Sunday Lecture entitled "A Window on the Past: Smyrna, 1953".

Summary:

The recent discovery in a closet at the Smyrna Public Library of an album containing over 150 photographs (many never seen before), newspaper clippings, and documents describing Smyrna as it was in 1953, at the very beginning of its transformation into one of Cobb County's major cities, furnishes a fascinating "Window on Smyrna's Past.".

Bill Marchione, Ph. D., author of "A Brief History of Smyrna, Georgia" (2013), and co-chair of the Smyrna Arts & Cultural Council's History Committee will describe and analyze this treasure trove of recently uncovered historical material.

The First Sunday Lecture Series is sponsored by the Friends of the Smyrna Library.
