Jonesborough Battlefield
Although most of the Jonesborough battlefield has been lost to suburban Atlanta development, the Patrick R. Cleburne Confederate Cemetery on North McDonough Street contains the bodies of men who fell nearby. Several Georgia Historical Commission markers in town trace the action of the battle.
