Each year a reenactment of
the Battle of Resaca, the first battle on Atlanta Campaign, is
held on the third weekend of May. Close by is the beautiful
Chattahoochee National Forest that cover over 749,000 acres in
north Georgia.
Another historic
attraction to see in Resaca is the Oostanaula River Bridge. The
bridge is one of two that was attacked by General Dodge during the
initial phase of the Battle of Resaca. Guarded by most of the
Rebels in the town, Dodge misread the resistance and thought a
large number of Confederates were occupying the city when less
than 8,000 were stationed there. Today you can still see the
pillars that are antebellum dated probably 1847. |
