"This house was located on Lewis Street. It was torn down in 1969 to build the new Kennesaw Post Office, as you can see, it is located next to the Library, Dr. Hester's dentist office is on this site today." (photo and text by Joe Bozeman)

"Although the date on this picture is 1965, it was made in 1962. You can see the old house that was torn down to build the library. The 1956 T-Bird was mine, it is another part of history that I miss." (photo and text by Joe Bozeman)

"This picture is from the collection of Billie Frey. It was made around 1973. In the background you can see the house on Park Street, now J. O. Stephenson Drive, where Mrs. Atkins lived. This house was torn down for the expansion of the new Kennesaw City Hall. The little girl playing in the pool is Tori Nelson." (Joe Bozeman)

"This picture is from the collection of Billie Frey. I have not been able to identify the young lady in the picture or the porch she is sitting on. I have no idea when this picture was made; however, the house across the street is the Tiny Hill House, now the Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn." (Joe Bozeman)

"I took this picture of my Grandmother, Mrs. Cora "Cokie" Skelton, in her flower beds around 1970. This beautiful bank of flowers faced what is now the Kennesaw City Hall. Does anyone really believe the City Of Kennesaw has improved the looks with the brick sidewalks and the fancy metal lamp post?" (Joe Bozeman)

"This picture is from the collection of Billie Frey and was made sometime in the 1940s. This cabin was owned by Bob and Lawton Bozeman and was located on Wooten's Lake in Kennesaw. This cabin was still standing in the 1980's, but is now gone and replaced by very expensive homes." (Joe Bozeman)
