Lazy Guy Distillery

Kennesaw has deep historical roots, noticeably for its railroad locomotive “The General”. Its key location close to the capital of Georgia, Kennesaw is the perfect place to make whiskey, a practice that has been valued throughout American history. The historic buildings have seen lots of changes over the years, just as the whiskey making process in America has undergone lots of change. From the Whiskey Rebellion in the late 1700’s to the Prohibition Era in the 1920’s, Whiskey has been a foundation of many American events and even served as currency more than once in our country’s history. Close to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive, and giving free tours on Saturdays this distillery should defiantly be on your list of places to visit.

Historical Places in Kennesaw

Kennesaw is full of history, seeing as the town was settled as a result of the Western and Atlantic Railroad being built. Many events happened in the region during the Civil War, such as the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain where some buried artifacts have been found by people with metal detectors, and the Camp MacDonald training camp was located here from 1861 to 1863. The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History is a great place to get lost in the past, and currently is the home of “The General”, the locomotive that played the key role in the Great Locomotive Chase. Also located here is the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign.
