While planning your trip keep a few things in mind:

We are a day use Battlefield and all parking areas are posted with designated parking hours.

Make sure you know how long it will take you to hike or tour the grounds before you start. Ask a ranger for assistance if you have questions.

Make sure you plan to enjoy your trip and take in as much as you can of the Battlefield and the surrounding areas.

If you're looking for lunch and dinner places, we do not offer anything in the park but the Marietta square is down the street and full of many choices. There's Barrett Parkway which has a little something for everyone and downtown Kennesaw is a short drive away.

Earthworks of Cheatham Hill, protected, preserved unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.  

Did You Know?
Kennesaw Mountain was a physical barrier standing between a large Federal force and an important Confederate railroad and manufacturing center. The battle played an important role in a complicated national drama of bitter military combat and politics.
