The Western and Atlantic Railroad Tunnel, attraction site, is one of the oldest railroad tunnels in the South. During the Civil War, the tunnel played a part in the Great Locomotive Train Chase as the "General" and "Texas" raced through. Just west of the tunnel is the Clisby Austin House, originally a private home and resort later used as General Sherman's headquarters while planning the Atlanta Campaign. Visitors may take guided tours of the Tunnel on an 8 passenger limo style golf cart.
