While many accounts have been written of the battle, this site takes a different approach, telling the story of the battle in the words of the men who were actually there. It gives accounts of the events which occurred in May and June, 1864 including New Hope Church, Pickett’s Mill, Dallas, Pine Mountain, Gilgal Church, Lost Mountain, Kolb’s Farm, Kennesaw and Cheatham Hill. This interactive tour includes over 200 sites identified in the greater Marietta area. You may choose to visit only the Civil War related sites or include such world famous and important landmarks as the “Big Chicken.” The Kennesaw Mountain corridor covers an area that is 30 miles wide and 60 miles long encompassing more than 1500 miles. While you can traverse the area in an afternoon, the breadth and depth of resources for detailed study of this area and the events which occurred here can bring a lifetime of enjoyment.
