Film crew revisits Civil War crime in Kennesaw
A Travel Channel film crew shot footage at Kennesaw's Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History Tuesday for an upcoming travelogue about cities and crime.
The museum is home to The General, a locomotive with a storied past that involved a Union raid and train theft under the noses of Confederate forces in Kennesaw.
"Hidden Cities" is expected to air in December, said Kennesaw spokeswoman Pam Davis. She said the film crew told her the show will include segments about the 1999 shooting spree by day trader Mark Barton and about Mexican drug trafficking.
