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 until July 2, 1864. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park offers historical perspective amidst a beautiful natural setting. Whether you want to feel the sound of a cannon’s roar or take a hike on one of its many trails, Kennesaw Mountain has something for you. Visitors may explore the museum in the visitors’ center and hike (approximately two miles) or ride the shuttle bus to the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of the area.

Please note: Participants will travel by bus to and from the park. The visitors’ center is fully accessible. Due to the nature of the historic terrain, trails have remained natural and have not been altered. The mountain road is paved and accessible, and the shuttle bus is ADA approved. Shuttle tickets are included in the price of the tour.

Limit 20 people. $20 members, $25 nonmembers
