DALLAS

March to the Sea lecture

Last year marked the 100th anniversary of Sherman’s March to the Sea. Historian and lecturer Michael Shafer will take Pickett’s Mill Battlefield Historic Site visitors back to that era during an hourlong lecture on the history surrounding the march, the events leading up to it, and its impact on Georgia. The park is home to a battlefield where the Confederates slowed Sherman’s advance on Atlanta, and many of the earthworks built during the fighting are still intact. The lecture will take place in the visitors center.

2 p.m. Jan. 10. $3-$5.50. Pickett’s Mill Battlefield Historic Site, 4432 Mount Tabor Church Road, Dallas. 770-443-7850, gastateparks.org/pickettsmillbattlefield.
