Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield
In 1864 Kennesaw Mountain was the scene of a bloody Civil War
battle when General Sherman led his Union forces against the
entrenched Confederate forces at the site, resulting in the death
of more than 67,000 soldiers. The park consists of several thousand
acres of protected land, covered with more than 17 miles (27km) of
interpretive walking trails. The trails encompass historic
earthworks and cannon placements, and notable markers and memorials
have been provided to commemorate the event. A small museum at the
site displays Civil War artefacts, and a visitor's centre provides
information about the battle on the site. This popular park is
visited by more than a million people each year, many of whom come
to picnic and enjoy the views afforded across Atlanta.
