This historical park and site of military significance covers parts of both northern Georgia and southern Tennessee near the city of Chattanooga, which was a desirable strategic population center during the Civil War. At the time, Chattanooga was a major railroad hub and was considered an outlet to the rest of the Confederate territories.
For several months in 1863, the Union and Confederate armies fought for control of the area, with Union soldiers ultimately emerging victorious and successfully pushing the Confederates southward. Today, rangers give guided tours of the battlefield to visitors who come to learn about its rich, significant history.
