The Battle for Atlanta Began Here
It was a sweltering, hot and clear Monday, June 27, 1864, when some of the heaviest fighting of the Atlanta Campaign occurred here. Over 5,350 casualties were suffered in the battle fought here from June 19 through July 2, 1864. Today, Kennesaw Mountain NBP preserves the remnants of that battle and offers miles of hiking trails where history peeks out from around every turn.
