This is possibly where Gen. Wheeler was capture according to description of last location recorded by him before his capture, although others say it is near McDaniels Mill Rd or Symrna Rd. But according to records from Sherman, Wheeler was captured at Flat Rock (what is now in Rockdale Co.) and would make the location near Panola Mt.

C.S.S. Georgia
The C.S.S. Georgia was a Confederate Ironclad warship that was anchored in Savannah River about 3 miles below the city, she served as a floating battery and was instrumental in keeping Union forces from attempting to take the city by sea. She was scuttled by her crew when General Sherman’s army reached Savannah at the end of its famous “March to the Sea”. Plans are now in motion to the possibility of raising the ship from the Savannah River.

Cycloramic illustrations were extremely popular in the 19th Century. Today there are under five left in existance. Today, the Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta is the world's largest oil painting, painted in 1885-86 by artists from Germany. It has been shown in Grant Park since 1893. In addition to the cycloramic painting, the Cycloramam is home to a fine Civil War Museum, including the steam engine Texas which took part with The General in the Great Locomotive Chase (also known as Andrew's Raid) in 1862.
A prestigious Smithsonian Affiliations member, the Museum provides visitors with a unique perspective into the strategic and economic use of railroads during and after the Civil War. The Museum is home to the General locomotive, made famous during the Great Locomotive Chase of 1862, an impressive Civil War collection, and the Glover Machine Works, a restored early 20th century belt-driven locomotive assembly line. The Jolley Education Center offers numerous hands-on and interactive exhibits that are fun for the entire family, and the Cobb Energy Gallery features traveling exhibits from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. The museum was formerly known as the Kennesaw Civil War Museum. It was renamed in 2003.
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
Stone Mountain Park
Stone Mountain is now best known for its large bass-relief carving of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and General "Stonewall" Jackson. It is the largest carving of its type in the world. In 1916, the owners of the property, the Venable Brothers, deeded the front face of the mountain to the United Daughters of the Confederacy with the stipulation that they establish a "sizable" Confederate monument. Gutzon Borglum was commissioned to do the carving. He abandoned the project in 1923. Later, Borglum completed the famous carving at Mount Rushmore). Augustus Lukeman continued the project until 1928 when work stopped for thirty-five years.In 1964, Walker Hancock began to complete the carving. The carving was completed by Roy Faulkner on March 3, 1972.
In 1958, The State of Georgia purchased the mountain and the surrounding property from the Venable family and made it into a State Park. During the early years, it was themed as a Conferate / Civil War attraction. In modern times, the Park is now advertised as an ecological or nature park and it's Civil War roots are down-played substantially.

Civil War sites in Georgia are being damaged and adversely affected by development. Georgia Battlefields Association is a private, non-profit organization that works with other preservation groups trying to prevent and reduce the damage.
People have taken offense at our military's decision to use digital music devices stuck in bugles to be played at the funerals of our fallen warriors or honored veterans. Bugles Across America is composed of over 7,500 volunteers that offer their services in attending the memorial services of our military dead so they are properly remembered and honored. This group is a non-profit organization with no affiliation to the Defense Department or Deptartment of Veteran Service.
TAPS 150 is an organization incorporated to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the origin of Taps, our national bugle call. TAPS 150 is planning commemorative events, special concerts and events that will culminate with ceremonies at National Cemeteries in May 2012 and a re-enactment event in July 2012 at Berkeley Plantation where Taps was born.
Our brave service men and women that dedicated their lives for their country are unfortunately the most common victims of Mesothelioma. The Mesothelioma Cancer Network is a great source of information on this rare type of cancer.
As a result of their exposure during military service, U.S. veterans account for a sizable percentage of pleural mesothelioma patients. The group of veterans most at risk is naval veterans and this is a result of the mass amount of asbestos material used on naval vessels. Navy veterans who worked in shipyards or aboard vessels experienced more asbestos exposure than the average member of the Armed Forces and can claim benefits from the VA system for this service-related condition.
