Kennesaw Battlefield Park, a 2,965 acre park that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign, and also contains Kennesaw Mountain. Opposing forces maneuvered and fought here from June 19, 1864 until July 2, 1864. Although most famous as a Civil War battlefield, Kennesaw Mountain has a much richer story. Kennesaw Mountain was a physical barrier standing between a large Federal force and an important Confederate railroad and manufacturing center. The battle played an important role in a complicated national drama of bitter military combat and politics. It is located at 905 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, between Marietta and Kennesaw, GA. #explore #findyourpark #georgia #hiking #nationalpark #historic #nps #outdoors #battlefield #americancivilwar #cannons #mountains #battle #war #kennesawmountain

The big chicken. Something that is featured in the "weird Georgia" book. It was built in the 1960s' by the owner, and is a great drive by "we saw that" thing to see. What is it? Why, it's a giant chicken, 56 feet tall, built in front of a KFC in Marietta. Why is it there? I have no idea. Anything special? It's a giant chicken, that moves!
