Allatoona Pass Battlefield

One of the bloodiest skirmishes of the Civil War and the motivation for the tune "Hold the Fort," the Battle of Allatoona Pass was battled on October 5, 1864. Two unique earthen strongholds and trench works remain, making it a standout amongst the perfect front lines in the country. Landmarks honor the two armed forces. The fortifications and a large portion of the external works are on US Corps of Engineers property and is presently kept up by Red Top Mountain State Park.

The recreation center is effectively open throughout the entire year and can without much of a stretch be seen in one day. Visit the site and stroll through the pass that once isolated sworn adversaries and serves as a sentinel to history, as well as an image where the two sides, who have once sworn foes, now recollect their rich history as one country.
