Resaca Battlefield State Historic Site

Welcome to the Resaca Battle�eld Historic Site. During the Civil War, the Union Army commanded by General William T. Sherman fought the Confederate Army commanded by General Joseph E. Johnston here at the village of Resaca early in the Campaign for Atlanta. �e battle took place between the 13th to 15th of May 1864. Only a portion of the battle�eld is preserved within the park; however, you may also visit related sites in Resaca such as Fort Wayne and the Resaca Confederate Cemetery. Additional portions of the battle�eld are preserved by Gordon County but not open to the public except during special events.
