We know that it's asking a lot to venture out of the air conditioning, but it will definitely be worth it! Come check out our weekend of living history here at Kennesaw Mountain!

August 10, @11:00, 12:00, 2:00 and 3:00 - Artillery Demonstrations
Artillery was a vital component to the opeartions of both armies during the Atlanta Campaign and played a key role in several engagements during the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. These programs include a short interpretive talk as well as a firing demonstration!
*This program is not at the Visitor Center; parking is at the Pigeon Hill site at Burnt Hickory Rd

August 11, @11:00, 12:00, 2:00, and 3:00 - Infantry Demonstrations
Life for the infantry soldier (Union or Confederate) was anything but easy. Long marches, bad food, and worse living conditions made it tough going for these young men. Join our living historians as they set up camp on the mountain and demonstrate a musket firing.
*This program is not at the Visitor Center; parking is at the Pigeon Hill site at Burnt Hickory Rd

*As a reminder, our shuttle service for the weekend will be suspended due to mechanical bus issues.

All programs are FREE but normal entrance fees still apply.

One of the earliest trillium species to bloom is in south Georgia – this is spotted trillium (Trillium maculatum). Although it looks very similar to other maroon-colored, mottled-leaf trilliums (like the one we featured yesterday), this one is not found in north Georgia. It is native to about 18-19 counties in the Coastal Plain region; this one was in Grady County.
