Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will host a special 45-minute program at Chickamauga Battlefield at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 2.
Participants will visit places associated with some of the strange and unusual names one sees around the park. Participatants should dress appropriately for conditions and bring along a bottle of water and a folding chair, if they like.
Just a short drive through the Chickamauga Battlefield will bring past one's eyes a series of names and words that leave one wondering about their stories.
Who was August Willich? What was the Orphan Brigade, what did Lytle do to get a hill named after him? To find out the answer to these questions and to hear even more, join organizers for this special tour.
