Most folks do not realize how much history is in Marietta GA. Marietta GA is home to the Brumby Rocking Chair Company that dates back to 1875 and is nationally known for the quality of the product! The company was formed in Marietta GA post civil war over 118 years ago and is known world wide for its famous American Rocking chairs! You can find the Brumby Rocking Chair Company right on Marietta Square today and still doing business!
Jim, I never knew the Brumby Chair Company was headquartered in Marietta! I probably drove by many times when living there and never knew.
Well, now, let's sit a spell, talk about the state of affairs in one of those Brumpy chairs. Thanks for the background and showcasing a company that is well known, survived the ups and downs by delivering a quality product Jim!
Frank & Sharon Alters, CDPE-Short Sales Jacksonville-Orange Park-Fleming Island (Watson Realty -) It's right on the Square! Sometimes in Atlanta we need to get out of the car and walk more. There is so much to discover.
Andrew Mooers | Northern Maine Real Estate / Aroostook County Broker (MOOERS REALTY) Andrew if you build a better product...they will beat a path to your door.
Christopher and Stephanie Somers - Realtors - Philadelphia Real Estate (Owner - RE/MAX Affiliates) There is! Marietta is steeped in history.
When we lived in Woodmont pretty much everyone had a front porch and of course, we all had to have our Brumby Chairs! Enjoyed this post.
Susan Haughton Alexandria, VA REALTOR® www.susanmovesyou.com (Long & Foster REALTORS® Old Town Alexandria) In GA it's the law! LOL! They're great! It's a real southin' thang!
Jim - As a Marietta native, I'm very familiar with The Brumby Chair Co. When I first started in construction in 1970, my first employee--who was in his sixties--was a former Brumby employee. Did you know that JFK used a Brumby rocker because of his back problem?
John Mulkey, Housing Guru (TheHousingGuru.com) Yes, but it has been a while I forgot about it. Brumby Rocking Chairs are for a lifetime. It is surprising because they are very reasonably priced, and very high quality.
You know that those rocking chairs are the same ones that are on the white house balconys?? Yep! I have seen them myself!
They are truly heirloom quality pieces. :)
