We were delighted to bring our community together on Sept. 17 to celebrate Constitution Day and kick off Constitution Week. A highlight of this event was the ringing of Marietta Square’s historic bell. Featured speaker and Marietta attorney Philip Goldstein shared its fascinating history. The bell was placed on the Square for the nation’s bicentennial and first rung at 2 p.m. on July 4, 1976, during a driving rain. It was cast by the same foundry in England that cast our country's original Liberty Bell.

Fifty years later, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, the bell once again connects Marietta to a milestone in our nation’s history. To commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, Marietta City Council member Joseph Goldstein rang the bell 13 times in honor of our nation’s 13 original states.

We were grateful to be joined by local leaders, the Marietta High School AFJROTC and members of the community for this special celebration.

Watch the videos to learn a little of the bell’s history, and to hear it ring!

Special event at Berry College!

Frost Chapel at Berry College was designed by Samuel Inman Cooper, of Atlanta, under Martha Berry’s supervision. The building and its oak furniture were constructed by students and staff in 1936–37, using the gift from Mr. and Mrs. Howard Frost of Los Angeles, California, in memory of their son, John Lawrence Frost, who died of polio in 1935.
