roadside park rock map at road as you turn into road leading 1/2 mile back into shaded cool cemetery. creek at rear back wall meanders slowly along. rock wall surrounds and pretentious gateway in center of wall bacons. several hundred soldiers final resting place lie here, many unknown. nice quite spot to reflect, bak ea break from the road, or enjoy a bite. you'll be the only one there so enjoy being smack dab in the middle of the battle withs much as a shot to be heard. never mind about the railroad nearby, train traffic these day is only occasional.

The town of New Echota served as the Capital for the Cherokee Nation from 1825 to their removal during the Trail of Tears in the late 1830's. The 17-minute film in the visitor center explained that they had a government similar to ours and a written newspaper. As we toured the 12 buildings including the Council House, a Cherokee farm, the Print Shop and a tavern, we got a sense of how the town was laid out.
What really impressed us the most was the volunteer in the Print Shop. He demonstrated how workers would get the small type out of the cabinets, set up each column and ink the press to create the weekly Cherokee newspaper. He also explained the nuances about the Cherokee language.
Our teens enjoyed the site as they learned about the Trail of Tears in school. I liked that we could actually walk into many of the buildings and the cost was reasonable. It should be noted that currently the site is only open Wednesdays through Saturdays.
4. Resaca Battlefield Historic State site

Many Civil War sites have been covered by commercial development. But Civil War buffs, like me and my wife, still can follow battlefield trails in Mississippi, Virginia and Georgia. For example, the Battle of Resaca was part of the Atlanta campaign waged by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. Fought on May 13-15, 1864, it ended inconclusively with General Joseph E. Johnson's Confederate Army retreating amid 6,100 combined casualties. Author Ambrose Bierce's short story "Killed at Resaca" focuses on a group of soldiers who fight and die bravely at Resaca, and the needless bloodshed of war in general. The battlefield remains relatively intact with earthworks and fortifications along Camp Creek and the Oostanaula River. From Chattanooga, it is the mission of every Civil War historian to follow Sherman's route south to Atlanta, through Dalton and Resaca and Adairsville and Pickett's Mill and New Hope Church and Kennesaw Mountain and Peachtree Creek, then beyond Atlanta to Jonesboro.0

Stopped in at Coach, Rack Room Shoes, Bealls and Bath & Body Works. Didn't buy anything but there are plenty of stores to choose from. One of my favorites is Kitchen Essentials. Ann Taylor, Dress Barn, Nike, Vanity Fair, Lane Bryant, Tommy Hilfiger among others. There is something there for everyone in most budgets. Worth driving through to see if there's anything appealing to you.

I was hoping for more after I saw pumpkin patch advertisement last fall. I was hoping the for some fun at the Sunflower festival. It was a soundingggg NO in entertainment! First of all, I'm 57 years old. And I also understand this whole farm is designed around the kids:) So, what is the value to me to pay a $12 admission fee? Nothing. Both my wife and granddaughter paid $15 each so they could do a few extra things:(Laughable).........So, let's begin. I liked what the they are doing with the property in decorations, props and building designs:) Their best function is the gem mine,but one bucket per person was a little weak. The cattle ride or whatever you call it is a a bunch of small train cars pulled by a tractor. The road they pull you around is like Beirut Lebonon, it is bumpy as allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll get out:( So, why do the hayride, can't be much better and it travels on the same poor conditioned road:( Hey, we have a pig race and we shoot one watermelon out of a home made cannon. Both over almost before you sit down and really just weak carny stuff:( The bouncy area is a nice touch:) no covering so HOT on a kids feet:( Like the barn slide:) But again, the plastic can be HOT because of no covering:( Did not understand the corn on the floor in the barn play area:( the mice at night probably show up like a smorgasbord:(:( IT IS A FARM! They have two ponies for rides and one looks worn out:( two other small ones to look at. They also have a rabbit pen and a few other animals. Maybe the draw is the sunflower field:) Have seen better, but we have also not had much rain. But here is the kicker, they wanted another $5 for a yellow bucket so you could pick some:) STILL lol at that one! Maybe the best one was charging $2 for a cup of water:):):):) C'MON MAN! Was the $15 fee worth taking a kid, I will give them the YES through a kids eye's:) For adults to pay $15 each to do nothing or little to nothing other than walk around with your kid is no value. You want return guests:) Will I return come pumpkin season, nooooooooooooooooooo. One last thing, little and few staff to assist with question once your in the farm:( Heard others say the same things:(

As we walked in we were greeted by 2 friendly people and asked if there was anything special we were looking for. We said "we will know it when we see it" and they told us to enjoy looking around and to let them know if we have any questions or need a case unlocked. It's always nice to be greeted in a friendly manner.
The place had a little bit of everything from toys, furniture, collectibles, jewelry, books, etc. The aisles were clear and the booths were well organized. There was only one slightly cluttered booth and we just passed right past it (too easy to knock something over or trip when they have clutter). I found a small item I didn't even know I needed and my husband found a wooden golf club he didn't already have (he has over 100 of them). They had the most amazing set of (looked like kids) Route 66 yellow luggage that I really wanted but we didn't have room in our packed car for them. I would recommend stopping here if you are in the area.
