Description: In June of 1864, General William T. Sherman's advance toward Atlanta was delayed for two weeks at Kennesaw Mountain, just west of downtown Marietta.  The Union Army, marching from Chattanooga to Marietta along the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was met by the Confederates entrenched along the ridgetops of Kennesaw Mountain, south towards Powder Springs Road, thereby blocking Union movement.  The 2,888 acre National Park preserves the battleground where the Confederate army temporarily stopped the Union advance southward before the fall of Atlanta.
