About this event
Event lasts 2 hours
Founded as a railroad stop in the 1830s, what was once called “Big Shanty” has grown into Kennesaw, a bustling suburb of Atlanta. In this walking tour of Downtown Kennesaw, learn about how the city has grown and changed during its almost 200-year history. Learn about the Medals of Honor awarded for action that started in Kennesaw, the historic houses along Cherokee Street, the transportation links that have helped North Georgia grow, and unique incidents and stories from the city’s past.
The tour begins in the parking lot at Kennesaw’s Depot Park, where free parking is available. This walking tour is a little over a half-mile and stays on sidewalks and crosswalks. The tour will last about an hour and a half.
