The Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club (KMTC) is a group of volunteers dedicated to preserving the beauty & history of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Since our beginning in 2002, the Trail Club has focused over 35,000 volunteer hours donated by the public to enhance the trail system within the park! Kennesaw Mountain topped the charts in 2010 as the most-visited Civil War battlefield park in the country. In 2010, Kennesaw Mountain had 1,512,191 visitors far surpassing Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania and Manassas. Since Kennesaw Mountain only has about 3,000 acres, the National Park Service allocates less money for upkeep and maintenance. The park staff does not have the budget or the man-power to maintain 20+ miles of trails and they depend heavily on the Trail Club to provide almost all maintenance activity. Inside Today:
