From the venue:

The magnificent Illinois Monument, which stands at the crest of Cheatham Hill, was erected by the State of Illinois to honor the 480 men from that state who died on this slope. The marble monument is thirty-four feet square at the base and the shaft rises twenty-five feet. Atop the monument is a seven-foot high bronze soldier clutching a rifle and two women in classic Greek garb. 8:30 p.m.770-427-4686http://battleofkennesawmountain150.com/
