Chickamauga Chattanooga National Military Park

  Chickamauga Chattanooga National Military Park :-

Between 1890 and 1899 the Congress of the United States authorized the establishment of the first four national military parks: Chickamauga and Chattanooga, Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg. The first and largest of these, and the one upon which the establishment and development of most other national military and historical parks was based, was Chickamauga and Chattanooga. It owes its existence largely to the efforts of General H.V. Boynton and Ferdinand Van Derveer, both veterans of the Army of the Cumberland, who saw the need for a national park to preserve and commemorate these battlefields during a visit to the area in 1888.

ACCESSIBILITY :-

Wheelchairs are available for use at Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center and at Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center. On-site video tapes are available to view non-accessible areas of the park. TDD (Telephone Device for the Deaf) is available for calls at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center. Parking spaces for the disabled are located at both visitor center parking lots.
