In May 1864 William T. Sherman marched three armies out of the Georgia mountains toward Atlanta, and Joseph E. Johnston met him ridge by ridge across Bartow, Paulding, and Cobb counties. This driving route traces that grinding two-month advance in order, from the rock cut at Allatoona Pass through the 'Hell Hole' battlefields of New Hope Church and Pickett's Mill to the bloody slopes of Kennesaw Mountain and the earthen forts of the Chattahoochee River Line.
The Atlanta Campaign: Kennesaw to the Chattahoochee is a self-guided driving tour of Kennesaw, built around its civilwar side. It's one of 2 Georgia Roam tours in Kennesaw — each a different route through the city, on your own schedule.
The walk covers 10 stops over about 58.0 miles and roughly 5 hours, entirely at your own pace. Each stop's story unlocks on your phone the moment you arrive — GPS-triggered, hands-free, no guide and no tour group to keep up with.
