In July 1864 the war turned in ways you don’t always hear about.

Union cavalry under Edward M. McCook attempted a bold raid to sever Confederate supply lines and communications. They pushed through this region of Coweta County, cutting rail lines and burning wagons, aiming to avoid a full siege of Atlanta. Instead, they were ambushed by Confederate cavalry led by Jospeh Wheeler near Brown’s Mill, here in Coweta County, was defeated. This loss forced Union command to abandon the raid strategy and opt for a siege instead, altering the broader campaign.

When you buy in Coweta County through Macaroni Homes, you’re not just getting a house, you’re stepping into history. The defeat of Union forces here changed the direction of the war, and helped preserve the charming homes and historic architecture that we see today in Newnan and beyond.
