Describe A Perfect Day in Kennesaw?

Taking a walk through history at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. All along the miles of trails, you can go back in time and even see the canons that were used during the civil war. If you make it to the top of the mountain, on a clear day you can see the distant skyline of Atlanta. I would continue my tour through history with a stop at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History. For lunch, I would head over to McCollum Airport where I can eat a wonderful meal at Elevation while watching the planes come and go. With Kennesaw State University nearby there are so many activities to choose from in the evenings. Concerts, festivals, sporting events, classes, or educational talks are always going on.
