A two-story farmhouse stood here in the summer of 1864. The farmhouse served as the headquarters for Confederate commander John B. Hood during the Battle of Atlanta, which was fought to the east of the cemetery on July 22. SOURCE: oaklandcemetery.com. (In Focus features a photograph submitted by a UWG faculty or staff member.
