    A significant and important historical cemetery. I found my visit here to be thought provoking. These men died many not knowing what to do except join forces with neighbors,brothers and father's. The reason isn't as important as respecting the sanctity of life and it's passing. I don't believe I have ever visited a confederate cemetery this extensive and well laid out. If you were bored with the subject of the civil war in history class,stop in here. Emotions and deep thoughts are sure to be provoked.

    I've been to this cemetery many times over the years on school trips growing up. The place is and over the years would make the news because some idiot would try to stage a white supremacy parade here....seriously lets give it a rest....we really need to stop fighting each other and get with the program. We're all Americans....black, white, green and red. White people, black people, yellow people and red people...we all built this country....we all love this country and want this place to stick around for years to come....I think this cemetery reminds us that no one wins when a country fights among each other. it weakens us and with the rise of China...its something we really need to think hard about...

    This is a great well maintained trail. It is paved. Several different parking areas, we like to…read morego to the one on the south end off Cobb Pkwy as it huge and never full, this entrance also has bathrooms and can be used for access to CNRA West Pallisades. Nice views of Rottenwood creek along the Bob Callan Trail. You get to walk under 285 on the pathway, be sure to look for artwork near this area. Lots of bridges crossing the creek along the way. Clean and not too crowded. Folks of all ages on the trail. We go here about once a month and walk 5-6 miles including extra trails. Occasionally will take side trail into West Pallisades. Conveniently located and definitely worth a stop if you are an outdoors person.

If you really want a high Intensity work out under a hr, I highly suggest going on that side! *Restrooms are on the other side of the trail if you parked at the small "U" shaped parking lot. ************Parking is limited here************* ************Additional parking is at:************ 3444 Cobb Pkwy Atlanta, GA 30339 United States If you do decide to rent a bike download the app (Movatic) and follow the directions. The first 1hr is free! After 1hr it is only 3$. I was done in 50 mins and that is including a restroom break! Please make sure to bring hand sanitizer for your bike handles! They have baskets on the front of them to put your belongings in. The ladies room had Dial hand soap. The silver button on the wall is a hand dryer. Tissues inside stall. Not sure about the other ones or if they had a baby station at the big stall. My only concern was the doors being open to the bathrooms. The big trash cans had them propped open and I get it (due to "Covid") but I wanted some more privacy especially when this cute guy was standing by his bike literally across the bathroom door! And I was not going to move that big trash can. Only reason I rated this UPDATED review a 4 out of 5. Some of the trees limbs were hanging over the trails in certain parts. Causing a brief slow down during the trails busiest times on nice days. I went between 4:30-6p today. Now I'm off, to my post work out recovery activities, follow me here on YELP to my next adventures in the A & other cities!

    July 26, 2020 A…read morelittle over 156 years ago, as of this writing, the Civil war was waging and we happened on the very spot where one of many battles occurred between confederate and union soldiers. There is a farm house here built by Peter Valentine Kolb but presently is a residence for the park ranger with no tours. We stopped for a moment to take it all in.

    The farm house built by Peter Valentine Kolb in 1836 is a fine example of what a "frontier" house…read morewould of looked like around the time of the civil war. According to its website it has double chimney and the size of the farm house although modest for today's standards is actually pretty big back in those days. There is a cemetery nearby as well as two historical markers. They read as the following: BATTLE OF KOLB'S FARM June 22, 1864 The extension of the right wing of Federal forces S. of the Dallas Rd. threatening to outflank him, Johnston sent Hood's Corps [CS] from the right (E. of Kennesaw) to this, the extreme left, with directions to stop further Federal advances. Hood sent Stevenson's 4 brigades [CS] - 2 astride the road, and 2 N. of it, against the 20th and 23d corps troops [US] posted astride the road to the W. This, and later attempts failed to check the Federal extensions southward. 033-13 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1984 The second marker reads Battle of Kolb's Farm June 22, 1864 The 14th Kentucky (2d Division, 23d A.C.,) together with the 123d N. Y. (1st Division, 20th A.C.,) [US] were posted as skirmishers East of the Kolb farmstead. The stubborn resistance by the 14th Ky., and the 123d N.Y., disrupted the concerted assault by Stevenson's Division, [CS] upon the main line [US] astride the Powder Springs Road West of this point. This delaying action, together with Federal artillery fire halted Stevenson's attempt to win his objective. I should note the house itself is a private resident now so we probably should be respectful of their privacy....

The marker tells the story of how General Judah helped saved the citizens of Marietta by asking that federal food rations by directed towards this way. What it doens't tell you about the home is that it also served as a hospital to wounded soldiers during the Civil War and that later it was turned into a grammar school for girls. In fact the school (Harwood Seminary) became the first public school for the city of Marietta. I was told the blackboards for the school are still underneath the wall paper in the house.... The historical marker reads: Here, in the spring of 1865, Gen. Henry M. Judah had his headquarters and saw evidence which helped him make a decision of much importance to local people. Since no crops had been grown here on the battlefields and, as the surrender had paralyzed economy and government, local people lacked food, funds and employment. Judah, seeing that aid was needed to prevent suffering, proposed to issue corn and bacon to the needy until a crop could be made. The issue, approved, was made and these rations did much to put Georgians and their economy on a sound basis. Erected 1956 by Georgia Historical Commission.
