Bell Bomber Plant

Set against the backdrop of the late 1930s, the narrative explores the transformation of Marietta and Cobb County from a struggling agricultural area into a major industrial hub with the establishment of the Bell Bomber Plant. Through over 200 photographs, it highlights the role of local leaders in attracting federal investment and the remarkable adaptability of a workforce, including many "Rosie the Riveters," who overcame initial challenges to produce advanced bombers. This evolution marked a significant shift in the region's economic landscape.
