Confederate Armies Strike Back!

Kennesaw, GA – Confederates will defend their territory August 21 – 22 at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

The 10th Texas and Stephens Light Artillery will encamp by the Depot during Museum hours, Saturday, 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM and Sunday 12 Noon – 5:00 PM. The encampment is free of charge.

“The confederates will fire artillery all day to compensate for last week’s invasion of Union soldiers,” said Museum Education Director Jennifer Legates.

The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History houses three impressive permanent collections and is currently featuring a hands-on exhibition called Railroading in the Southeast.

The Southern Museum is 20 miles north of Atlanta, off I-75 at exit 273, Wade Green Road. For more information, call (770) 427-2117.
