Tunnel Hill, Georgia

The Tunnel Hill Heritage center will continue its annual reenactments this year on September 11th and 12th. Visitors will have the oppurtunity to walk amongst reenactors in full regalia, visit their camps, tour the Historic Western & Atlantic Railroad Tunnel, and watch the Battle as it unfolds at 2 pm.
The foundation hosts the reenactments to bring attention to the rich Civil War history in Tunnel Hill. During General William T.

Sherman took over the Clisby Austin House near the battlefield from May 7-12.
