Well, around Atlanta, and south Tennessee, I'd do:
1.
Andersonville South Georgia. The Civil War POW Camp that gained infamy for its brutal conditions and the National POW Memorial.
2.
Kennesaw Mountain (Metro Atlanta Area)
3.
The Southern Museum. (Metro Atlanta Area) Home of the locomotive "The General" from the Great Locomotive Chase.
4.
Gone With The Wind Museum. (Metro Atlanta Area) Effectively Marget Mitchell's museum with other "stuff" mixed in...
5. Sherman's Point. (Metro Atlanta Area) No link for that one but I used to live near it. It is allegedly where the Yankee terrorist, and war criminal by modern or any ethical standards, General Sherman stood and watched Atlanta burn.
6.
Stone Mountain(Metro Atlanta Area)
7.
Chickamauga Battlefield (Near Chattanooga)
8.
Shiloh Battlefield.
Number 1 is just plain depressing in some ways. You can feel the suffering that happened in that hellhole. But it has a excellent museum dedicated to all POWs that is worth the trip.
Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 are within a couple miles of each other. It is well worth seeing the locomotive "The General" as it is beautifully restored. This is a
"Must" see...
Number 6 is on the east side of Atlanta. Seeing the relief carvings and the museum is a worth crossing Atlanta. And you want to see it before the damn Yankees screw it up with other memorials to be PC...:rolleyes1:
Number 7 is iffy, not bad but the other are better IMHO.
Number 8 has a great display of the Field Artillery in use during the The War of Northern Aggression.
Let me know when you're coming through and I'll try to meet you for 2,3,4 and 5....:smile:
