    If you're a Civil War history lover you absolutely can't miss this amazing battlefield remnant…read moretucked away in a quiet Georgia corner less than an hour from the Kennesaw Battlefield National Park. If you're vising the Etowah Indian Mounds, the battlefield is 15 minutes away so you should definitely lump the two sites together. This historic site is a stop on Georgia's Civil War History Trail but you can definitely tell it's a bit uncared for by the state - which is a shame. I'll be honest-I'd never heard of this particular battle until visiting the site, but the gravity of what happened on these grounds hits you like a ton of bricks as you read the historical markers and signs throughout the site. Lasting only 5 hours, this battle had one of the highest casualty rates of the Civil War - surpassing even that of Gettysburg. Today, the earthworks and trenches are well preserved, and interpretive signs tell the battle's bloody story. You can climb up a set of stairs and follow a short trail to reach the top of the Star Fort and gaze upon the massive forts that separated Union and Confederate soldiers. There is no admission to enter the park and it's grounds are open from dawn until dusk. *As an interesting side note - as you look at images of what the battlefield looked like during the Civil War you'll notice an image of an old two-story farm house to the left of the site. After looking at the historic sign and gazing around at its modern day match I quickly realized the house is still standing! My mom, sister, and myself happened to notice someone in the yard and took the chance to go over and inquire if in fact it was the SAME house. Lo and behold it was the current home owner and it's one and the same. The Union soldiers used the home as their headquarters during their time occupying the area. After the battle, the home served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate soldiers alike and it was for this reason the home was not burned when Union soldiers vacated the area. Talking to her provided so much supplemental info on the battle that truly enhanced our visit. Don't miss this site during your visits to the area!

    This is a memorial field for the different armies that fought in the confederate war. It is at the…read moreedge of Lake Allatoona with several small trails through the woods that take you down to a creek, but not much of a hiking spot at all. It is a pretty spot, though, for sitting and watching the boats come in and out of the dock.
