Of course a diy venue has its own challenges, but most importantly it allowed us to bring our wedding day ideas to life. We got to use our own vendors and decorate the way we wanted! I can't brag on this place enough.

The marker reads as the following: Crescent Farm Rock Barn The Crescent Farm Rock Barn was constructed in 1906 by Augustus "Gus" Lee Coggins. One of a rare number of rock barns constructed in Georgia, the Rock Barn, together with the nearby Georgian Revival style main house, constitutes the core of the original Crescent Farm. Originally a racehorse stable, the rock barn was one of three barns on Coggins' cotton and horse farm. It was built to replace a wooden barn destroyed in a fire which killed valuable race horses. The Rock Barn is made of rock quarried on the original farm from the banks of the Etowah River. Coggins bred and raised horses for harness racing. Crescent Farm was widely known in the racing circle because of Abbedale, its world class horse. Abbedale brought fame to Crescent Farm and is listed in the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in Goshen, NY. Abbedale sired six pacers with two-minute mile records. 028-5 Georgia Historical Marker 1990.

The plaque reads: Sprayberry Rock This rock bears circular and other patterned markings that were rubbed into its surface by prehistoric Indians some 4,000 years ago. The material of the rock is known as "soapstone" and was used by early North American inhabitants to make bowls, the beginning of one of these bowls can be seen on the side of the stone. Sprayberry Rock was originally located some 100 feet to the south west. It was discovered during construction of this First Atlanta office, and its markings and historical dating were verified in February 1984 by Mr. Lawrence W. Meier archaeologist for Cobb County. In recognition of its historical significance, First Atlanta moved the Sprayberry Rock to its present location in August 1984 to preserve it. (Note: First Atlanta refers to First Atlanta Bank which was bought out by Wachovia in 1986 which merged with Wells Fargo in 2008.)

The Concord Covered Bridge was originally built in 1872 and replaces an original bridge built in…read morethe 1840s that was destroyed during the Civil War. The bridge is still in active use today as a one-lane bridge. It has a maximum height requirement and there are signs with warnings on the way to the bridge. I didn't try to drive it with my 10' 6" RV of course, but it was nice that I could at least get close enough that I didn't have a long walk. There is minimal parking near the bridge. The historical marker nearby points out that "The Concord Covered Bridge has the distinction of being the only covered bridge still in use on a public highway in the metropolitan Atlanta area." The drivers I saw utilizing it seemed polite enough to wait for traffic. There is no pedestrian lane inside the bridge, so I simply jogged behind the last car in each direction to cross. The bridge is a Queenpost design. The interior is unlit and it seems to have been reinforced extensively with steel girders that should keep it going for a while longer.

If you have ever travelled between Smyrna and Mableton there is a chance that you pulled up to this interesting, single-lane and somewhat sketchy wooden bridge that crosses Nickajack Creek. If you are coming from the Smyrna side of the bridge, which I consider to be the side with South Cobb, then you have to cross another single lane bridge. This bridge is not historic and is just as "functional", it sits near the Historic District/Silver Comet Trail entry point that features a small parking lot and covered pavilion. On both sides of the bridge, you must go under the hanging beams which are there to test the height of your vehicle and deter larger vehicles from attempting the bridge...so if you hit the beams, you will hit the large steel beams that are there now to protect the actual bridge. Seeing the bridge on foot is quite tough, as there are no sidewalks leading to it on either side and really the only safe way to walk is to take one of the nature trails that are off the Silver Comet trail to get as close as possible. The trail I speak of ends at the property line of the house next to the bridge and opens up at the end onto Concord and at the base of the bridge. While the history is fascinating, the functionality has become less enthralling as the population grows in the area and the use grows. Majority of folks know how to use the bridge, it is basically like a stop sign. You stop at the base of the bridge to make sure it is clear then you go, if there is another car on the other end, then you alternate sides...however, folks are impatient so sometimes you will just see a line of cars pile through causing the line on the other side to build up. Folks, I tell ya! Overall, the bridge is cool part of the Cobb County history. I am glad that they have updated and upgraded along with reinforced it throughout the years. I will say that lights on the inside could be helpful for those dark nights though...just a thought Cobb County!

Not sure about the other ones or if they had a baby station at the big stall. My only concern was the doors being open to the bathrooms. The big trash cans had them propped open and I get it (due to "Covid") but I wanted some more privacy especially when this cute guy was standing by his bike literally across the bathroom door!
