Part of the historic Kennesaw Mountain Park in Cobb County is getting extra protection after being awarded a new grant for preservation.
The National Parks Service awarded the park site more than $550,000 to protect about 2.63 acres of land that was the origin point of the June 27, 1864 battle during the Civil War.
“The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain was one of the more significant clashes of the Atlanta Campaign,” according to the National Park Service.
