Atlanta has several Civil War sites in the area if a person wants to visit it. The entire battle is told via a cyclorama located off I20 near the zoo. To the northwest of the city is train from the chase and further up the freeway is Chicamauga. To the southwest is the Andersonville Prison camp.
To the east is Stone Mountain sculpture on the mountain face. |
