Blue & Gray Trail
Georgia's Historic High Country Travel Association
Here in Georgia's Historic High Country, the Blue & Gray Trail pays
tribute to some of the Civil War's most dramatic events. The thievery of
Andrews' Raiders made famous in the Disney film "The Great Locomotive
Chase" is noted in numerous period railroad depots, historic markers,
museums and events from Kennesaw to Tunnel Hill. Consider the site of one
of the bloodiest Confederate victories where over 34,000 soldiers died -
Chickamauga and Chattanooga was named the first National Military Park in
1890. Places like Missionary Ridge, Allatoona Pass and Pickett's Mill
beckon you to remember more.
Along the Blue & Gray are historic Bed & Breakfasts, home cooked meals in
local diners, and shops filled with Civil War memorabilia. Encounter life
on the battlefield at many High Country reenactments and living history
encampments. Recreational opportunities are endless in the land of the
Blue & Gray. Come on inside for more information on the trail and other
