This year’s fan favorite event in Marietta will offer even more reason to attend the annual celebration. It will be the anniversary of Dr. Chris Sullivan’s collection making its home in Marietta. A mere ten years ago in April 2003, Sullivan struck a deal with the City of Marietta to have his collection on display in the old Thomas Warehouse building (c.1875). The museum has become a mainstay in Marietta and the historic Marietta square, with its popularity growing by leaps and bounds. In its 10-years in Marietta the museum has seen visitors from more than 75 countries and all 50 states.
