Kolb's Farm

I visited Kolb's Farm on the 151st anniversary of the battle, which occurred June 22, 1864. Please take a look at some of the photos. Like Salem Church in Virginia, roads and development have encroached right up on this site. However, you can see what the farm house looked like and also check out the Kolb family cemetery. Plus, a good hiking trails starts across the street that will take you to Cheatham Hill. Enjoy the photos!

My Afternoon at Cheatham Hill

I am a volunteer at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and one of my favorite Civil War places is Cheatham Hill. On June 27, 1864, the heaviest fighting occurred at this hill just south of Big Kennesaw Mountain. In many ways, you can still see the reason for the Union carnage at this site. Please see photos I took today:
