Nation's oldest military park |
US Highway 27 - Lafayette Road Chattanooga, GA 30742 United States +1 423-821 7786 http://www.nps.gov |
Just south of Chattanooga is the site of the area's longest and bloodiest battle of the United States Civil War. The U.S. War Department (now the Department of the Interior) declared this battlefield a National Military Park. It has attracted millions of visitors over the years. A visitor's center provides detailed information about the history of the battlefield and the battles fought here. The self-guided tour takes you through a number of battle sites, Wilder Tower lookout and a common area for picnics and recreation. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Victorian elegance with modern amenities |
827 Broad Street Chattanooga, TN 37402 United States +1 423 266 4121 |
A Chattanooga institution since 1847, this is the epitome of Old Southern elegance with ornate mahogany scrollwork adorning the spacious front lobby, along with numerous portraits of Civil War heroes. Stay at this house, which holds the distinction of hosting five U.S. Presidents and other dignitaries including Sir Winston Churchill and Eleanor Roosevelt. With its stately grandeur and elegance, the Sheraton Read House combines the best of Victorian charm and modern convenience in the heart of Downtown Chattanooga. Business facilities include a 16,500 square feet of banquet and meeting space can accommodate 10-500 delegates. The Silver Ballroom is the jewel in the crown of this house, featuring sterling silver chandeliers adorned with Waterford crystal. Review © 2007, Wcities |
