I recently visited the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield located in Cobb County north of Atlanta. The park offers a small museum, gift shop, and numerous walking trails to the top of the "mountain". I stopped there during the week and there was only a handful of visitors. I decided to go back on the following Sunday to make the hike. It was packed with people (I would say the majority of the these were only interested in the hiking not the history). Nice park worthy of a brief visit.

Sherman's prize-the City of Atlanta lies under 25-miles away from Kennesaw. Dobbins Air Reserve Base and Lockheed are visible just north of the Atlanta skyline in Marrietta.

I have been to Kennesaw many times and this year we will celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.
