The Southern Museum has first opened in Kennesaw in 1972 as the Big Shanty Museum. This early iteration of what is today a Smithsonian Affiliate housed the steam locomotive General and was dedicated to telling the story of the April 12, 1862 “Great Locomotive Chase,” and event which briefly rose that engine and Kennesaw to prominence during the Civil War.
