The Southern Museum is right in the middle of historic downtown Kennesaw and is conveniently close to both I-75 and Cobb Parkway and 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. We are a small, municipal museum that exhibits railroad artifacts from the Civil War era. We house The General, one of the locomotive engines that was involved in a Civil War maneuver called The Great Locomotive Chase. The other locomotive, The Texas, is housed at The Atlanta History Center. It is a unique atmosphere to hold an event.
