 Entrance
to the Southern Museum of Civil War
and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia. The museum is home to extensive
exhibits about the area's Civil War history and the Glover Machine Works,
where many locomotives were constructed.
Inside the museum, tickets are purchased at a turn-of-the-century recreation
of a 4 window ticket booth. In the background is the gift shop.
Inventive display of the material adds to the impact. Here, a display details
the end of the Glover Locomotive Works in Marietta, Georgia
This
locomotive, which was returned to the Glover Works, is one of the highlights
of the museum.

A
model of the Glover Works shows what the building looked like inside (thanks
to the cutaway roof) and out.
Of
course, the highlight of the museum has to be The General, grand old
lady of locomotives. Completely restored, the beauty of the steam-powered
locomotive cannot be captured on film.
