Kennesaw, GA - On June 27-28, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield will commemorate the 156th anniversary of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.

Hourly programs/activities will include artillery and infantry demonstrations (one program with Confederate uniforms and one program with Union uniforms), guided hikes, 19th century children’s games, programs on women, undercooks and stretcher bearers, civilian life, and more. Programs will be available for viewing via Facebook at www.facebook.com/KMNBP. There is no registration required, and programs are suited for all ages. A full listing of virtual programs and their respective times during Battle Anniversary weekend will be available on the park’s Facebook page and the park’s website at www.nps.gov/kemo (under schedule of events).
