Chickamauga And Chattanooga National Military Park Celebrates The 99th Birthday Of The National Park Service

  • Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park announced the waiver of entrance fees to Point Park, atop Lookout Mountain, on Tuesday, Aug. 25. 

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Superintendent Brad Bennett invites the public to join them for a very special day, the National Park Service’s 99th birthday. He said, "We encourage you to visit your park and participate in a ranger-guided tour, take in the scenery, or visit one of the many museums throughout the country."  

This fee-free Tuesday provides an opportunity for individuals and families to take an affordable day to explore one of the 408 national park sites across the country! In order to inspire visitors, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, the official charitable partner of America’s national parks, have created a birthday list of “99 Ways to Find Your Park.”
