On May 14, 1864, the largest battle in Georgia history ensued at Resaca, as Confederate General Joseph
Johnston’s troops holed up between two rivers,
attempting to block the beginning of Union General
W.T. Sherman’s Atlanta campaign. Here the Federal
army would first demonstrate its strength in numbers. More than six thousand casualities were
recorded in the two-day battle. Adjacent Fort Wayne
Civil War Historic Site opened in 2013. Georgia’s
oldest Confederate cemetery lies nearby. By May
2014 – the 150th anniversary of this major Civil War
battle – Resaca Battlefield will open south of Dalton
along Interstate 75, allowing the public to view battlefield interpretive trails and some of Georgia’s bestpreserved original earthworks.

Gun Creek Tunnel. When finished, the trail will
extend 36 miles, through the tunnel at Carver to
