Did You Know?

On a beautiful fall day, the colors of the trees make the deadliest part of Kennesaw Mountain battle look serene.

In the spring and summer of 1864, some of the most important events to affect the outcome of the Civil War occurred in North Georgia.  Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield commemorates these events, as well as preserving the battleground of Kennesaw Mountain.  The Mountain's history precedes the Civil War.
