Outdoor Activities

During the week take a drive, or on weekends take our shuttle bus to the mountain top; drive to Cheatham Hill (the main battlefield)and then onto Kolb Farm; picnic in designated areas; hike some of the 18 miles of our maintained interpretive trails; bring your binoculars and go birdwatching or your camera and capture a moment.
Please keep in mind that firearms, fireworks, fires made outside of the designated picnic areas in the grills provided and alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
Dogs are welcome on the park grounds but they must be on a leash no more than 6ft in length and under the owners physical restraint at all times. Please be mindful of where dogs "stop". Please pick up anything they leave behind with mutt mits that are free and in dispensers in all parking areas.
We ask that you enjoy your visit, walk the beautiful grounds and if you happen to catch our wildlife in action, watch and enjoy, but please do not approach.
This park is NOT open for hunting. If you witness illegal hunting or hear gunshots, please call 911 immediately to alert law enforcement officers immediately.

Indoor Activities

View our 18 minute movie on the Atlanta Campaign and Battle of Kennesaw, which is also for sale in our bookstore.
After get acquainted with us visit our much expanded museum reopened in November of 2002. The museum is more than twice the size of the previous one and includes many artifacts which have never been on display before. Also included, on loan from a private individual, is a Henry repeating rifle which probably belonged to a soldier in the 66th Illinois Regiment which was at Kennesaw Mountain. In addition, two rare Georgia made weapons, a Cook and Brother carbine and a Rigdon and Ansley revolver, on loan from the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibits not only tell the military story, but also the civilian, medical and communication aspects of the Atlanta Campaign.
Kids can pick up a Junior Ranger book and get involved in what they're seeing here at the park. Parents may browse the bookstore and take home a little of Kennesaw Mountain.
