The event will include a ceremonial march on the path of the allied attacking columns, followed by a dedication of stones and a presentation of wreaths to commemorate the fallen soldiers.
On Sunday, October 9th, participants will meet at 6:45 AM in the Savannah History Museum parking lot at 303 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The march will begin promptly at 7:00 AM and will proceed down West Boundary Street and along Louisville Road, where it will conclude at Battlefield Memorial Park. Breakfast and refreshments will be available following the ceremony for the event attendees.
Individuals and organizations are invited to bring a wreath to be presented during the ceremony. lPlease contact me to RSVP for this event and to notify me whether you or your organization would like to bring a wreath. I can be contacted at dmccall@chsgeorgia.org or (912) 944-7457.

Efforts to have Kettle Creek Battlefield made into a national park date back nearly 100 years. On multiple occasions, U.S. Senator Richard Russell pushed for acquisition of the property. Throughout the 1970s, Georgia Representative Robert Grier Stephens, Jr. and Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge introduced bills to establish Kettle Creek as a national monument. More recently, Rep. Hice welcomed NPS Acting Director Dan Smith to the site and introduced legislation (H.R. 306) to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of the battlefield. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on December 3, 2020.
