The Kennesaw Community is proud of Our Little General Cloggers!!
Click Here for The Little General Cloggers Slideshow!
The Group was formed in March of 1972 by Kenneth and Olivia Smathers of Kennesaw Georgia to help celebrate the return of the locomotive "General" to its rightful place in the South. The "General" is now housed in The Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History in Kennesaw. The Little Generals are goodwill ambassadors of the city of Kennesaw and the State of Georgia.

The group performs the traditional mountain routines and foot-stompin' mountain "clog" or "buck" dance. The Little Generals are dedicated to the task of helping perpetuate the American mountain heritage through their dancing. They get great enjoyment from their dancing and use it as an expression of their concern for the happiness of their fellow man. They have performed on wonderful stages all over North America.
