During Memorial Day weekend, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will provide a variety of programs on Lookout Mountain.
On Saturday, May 27, at Point Park, atop Lookout Mountain, there will be a Memorial Day artillery program commemorating the men and women whose lives have been lost in service to our nation. Visitors are encouraged to bring a photograph or small memento of a friend or loved one who died in the line of duty, as these servicemen and servicewomen will be recognized during the program.
Artillery programs are scheduled at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.
In addition to these programs, there will be ranger-guided tours of Point Park at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and
4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and Cravens House will be open to the public from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on both days as well.
