Description On April 12, 1862, James J. Andrews and a band of Union Civil War spies stole the General locomotive from under the watchful eyes of guards at nearby Confederate Camp McDonald while train passengers and crew were eating breakfast at the Lacy Hotel in Big Shanty, which is now Kennesaw. Follow in the footsteps of Confederate Conductor William Fuller as he chases 'Andrews Raiders' with a dramatic tour featuring an exciting movie about the Great Locomotive Chase, a faade of the Lacy Hotel, a tunnel, and the General locomotive. The spies were stopped just before reaching Chattanooga. Those who were caught, including Andrews and Sgt. John Scott, were hanged. The Union participants of the Great Locomotive Chase were later among the first recipients of the Medal of Honor, many posthumously.
