Publications
The park’s offi cial brochure was a 10panel
midi-folder in the 1970s. In 1985,
Harpers Ferry Center (HFC) developed
a “unigrid brochure” for Kennesaw
Mountain NBP in an A-4 size and
printed it in a 4-color format. Currently,
the brochure is being re-designed in the
“B-5” format, and is scheduled to be
released in 2010.
Existing Conditions
Other park staff -produced publications
include rack cards for visitor centers in
the Atlanta region, the Junior Ranger
Program booklet (which sells for $3
each), a battlefi eld newsletter produced
by the Kennesaw Mountain Historical
Association, a schedule of events,
birder lists, site bulletins and fl yers, and
Education Program packets. Many of
these documents are also available online.
A large number of Kennesaw-related

The wayside exhibit at the top parking area of Kennesaw Mountain puts the battle within
context of the larger Atlanta Campaign.
