This museum was very well thought out. The curator made it interactive, so the self guided tour was very interesting at all times. Following the railroad tracks you could read about and saw how the train was a very large part of the civil war. A large portion was dedicated to the history of the Glover family. The museum added in the the story of the Great Locomotive Race since Kennesaw was where the heist began. They added a few civil war artifacts to round out the collection. An immense children’s room would delight any child. If you start early you can combine the mountain and the museum. We did not allow ourselves enough time to do both.
