Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is a 2,965 acre National Battlefield that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign. Opposing forces maneuvered and fought here from June 19, 1864 until July 2, 1864. The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain was one of the more significant clashes of the Atlanta Campaign. With 'one last mountain' standing between William Sherman and Atlanta, the stakes are incredibly high. The Visitor Center of the State Park has tons of information presenting the history of the Civil War and the Atlanta Campaign in particular. A movie visualizes the bloody fights at Kennesaw Mountain back in 1864.
