Dunlap Trail
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park
A short, 1/4th of a mile long trail leading to the Dunlap Mound and Civil War earthworks.
This trail leads to one of a few surviving Civil War earthworks in Macon, and to the Dunlap Mound.The Civil War earthworks were constructed after the Battle of Dunlap Hill, which took place July 30, 1864. The earthwork was used again that same year in November during the Battle of Walnut Creek. It is named after Samuel Dunlap, who purchased the property in 1856 to build his house and establish a dairy farm. The Dunlap House is a private residence today.
