Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will present a special ranger-led talk exploring the history of the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center on Saturday, April 19, at 2 p.m.
Participants will meet behind the visitor center, under the trees, for this 45-minute program. There are seven benches available, so seating is not guaranteed.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs. In the event of bad weather, the program will move inside.
Completed in 1936, the iconic structure that became Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center was far more than a beacon for visitors. It was a blessing for a beleaguered population. We hope you will join us for this special program as we explore history of the building that hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors and residents drive past each day.
