From Civil War to Civil Rights

The NPS adopted "From the Civil War to Civil Rights" as a theme of the 150th commemoration of the Civil War. In order to better understand the attitudes of the African American community towards the Civil War and to help us develop interpretive materials Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park partnered with Kennesaw State University's Center for the Study of the Civil War Ear to carry out a series of focus group meetings. The African-American Attitudes Towards the Civil War document (full = 7.1 MB) or webpage (exerpt) is the report on our findings.


 

General Management Plan

The General Management Plan/Environmental Assessment for Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park was finalized in 1983. This report evaluates a preferred management strategy for long term protection and visitor use of Kennesaw Mountain NBP.

 

Traffic Safety

Due to an increase in the volume of traffic that frequents Kennesaw Mountain Drive at Kennesaw Mountain NBP, an assessment has been drafted proposing various alternatives to the current condition. This report highlights shuttle bus management for the park. Please email the park if you would like a copy of the full 62-page document.

 

Traffic and Pedestrian Safety

The NPS Southeast Region (SERO), KEMO, and Federal Highway Administration – Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) are conducting a Traffic and Safety Assessment to analyze existing and future transportation conditions for roads along and within the KEMO boundary. The study began with a project kick-off meeting on June 22, 2022. The project team will conduct a public engagement meeting on September 21, 2022 from 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm and a partner stakeholder meeting on September 23, 2022 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm to review collected data from the project study area. The project team will also observe traffic conditions and conduct a field review of the project study area on September 22 and 24, 2022.
