The Aviation Wing of the Marietta Museum of History is presently comprised of a 15.5 acre park. The park features various civilian and military aircraft from the latter half of the twentieth century in addition to aircraft produced locally in Marietta. Aviation in Marietta begins with Bell Aircraft in the early 1940s and continued to grow with Lockheed Martin from the 1950s to present. Aviation has played an integral role in Marietta's history and with aircraft manufacturing continuing to be a prominent industry; the Aviation Wing desires to have visitors explore the complete story of our community. The Aviation Wing will officially open to the public the first of the New Year 2011.

The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, formerly the Kennesaw Civil War Museum, will hold a grand re-opening celebration March 30, 2003, after a massive $6 million expansion that has resulted in a facility ten times the size of the previous building.

Located in Kennesaw, GA, the Museum, a Smithsonian Institution affiliate, will continue to house its star attraction, the General, the locomotive stolen during the Civil War's Great Locomotive Chase, but has greatly expanded the collection to include a brand new film depicting the chase, a Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to one of the Union raiders, and reproductions of the hotel where the chase began, along with Tunnel Hill.
