Sunny weather
greeted visitors this past weekend to the new Resaca Battlefield Historic Site
in Gordon County, Ga. “I’ve received 100% positive feedback,” said county
Administrator John King.
A grand
opening was held Friday afternoon at the pavilion of the park, which is located off Exit 320 of Interstate 75.
Don Holley,
who heads Gordon’s parks department, told the Picket he saw about 20 visitors
Saturday morning while walking the Blue Battlefield Trail. He saw about 25
people on Sunday afternoon.
“We are expecting a larger crowd this weekend with the
re-enactment going on at the Chitwood property,” he said.
The May 20-22 Battle of Resaca re-enactment is held a couple miles east of the historic site. It includes 2 p.m. battles on Saturday and Sunday, living histories, camps and services.
