Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will be one of hundreds of Civil War sites across the country to host a volunteer workday as part of the Civil War Preservation Trust’s (CWPT) Annual Park Day.

New Film about Our Park and Moccasin Bend
New in the Park Visitor Center at Chickamauga Battlefield is a 20-minute film called, “From Lookout Mountain to the Valley Below: Our National Park.” Admission is free, and showings are scheduled for 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM daily.

The site location for the proposed Interpretive Center on Moccasin Bend has been identified by the National Park Service.

It will be located on the north shore of the Tennessee River on property that fronts Hamm Road. Easily accessible by land or water, this site will welcome all visitors to the Archeological District.

Eventually, the Tennessee Riverwalk and CARTA's downtown electric shuttle routes will also extend to the site, tying the park into Chattanooga's established greenway and transportation systems.

The lecture series is underwritten by Greg A. Vital, President of Independent Healthcare Properties, LLC. Lectures
will be video taped for educational and archival purposes, through a generous gift from First Tennessee Bank.
