The day starts at The Southern Museum

of Civil War and Locomotive History, a
Smithsonian Affiliate Museum, for a

deep investigation into the causes and
consequences of our divided nation

during the Civil War. Your students will
experience galleries of original

weapons, civilian items, uniforms, and
much more as they learn about the life of

a Civil War soldier and witness a live
musket demonstration. After lunch at

Kennesaw State University, students will

travel to one of the most important
battlegrounds in Sherman’s Atlanta

Campaign. While at Kennesaw
Mountain National Battlefield, your

students will be given the opportunity
for an enriching study into the program

of your choice (life as a Civil War soldier,
hygiene during the Civil War, or life as a

child during the Civil War).
