Kennesaw Mountain

The Atlanta Campaign started here.

It was a swelteringly hot and clear Monday, June 27, 1864, when some of the heaviest fighting of the Atlanta Campaign occurred here. Preserved are historic earthworks, cannon emplacements and monuments. Kennesaw NBP interprets the historic events where over 5,350 soldiers were killed in the battle fought here from June 19, 1864 through July 2, 1864.
