Georgia Tennis Hall of Fame Moving to Marietta
Tuesday, April 7th, 2015
Lee Sessions Sr. grew up playing tennis in Marietta’s Lewis Park, and decades later, the Georgia Tennis Hall of Fame is relocating to his hometown and will be named after his family.
The Sessions Georgia Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum, which will feature artifacts from the sport’s history and tributes to tennis stars, will open on Marble Mill Road on May 2. The new museum location will be larger at 1,300 square feet, compared to its current 300 square feet in Atlanta.
Sessions, who is a member of the Hall of Fame, said he’s honored for the tribute and proud to be a member of a historic Marietta family. Sessions Street in Marietta is named after the long line of Sessiones the 68-year-old tennis fan comes from.
