Chickamauga Battlefield offers a seven-mile auto tour of
historical monuments, tablets, exhibits and trails. The
national park is open year-round.
Tennessee
Tennessee’s river and rail links made it a prize state
for both the North and the South, both of whom
camped here. In fact, Tennessee is second only to
Virginia in number of significant Civil War sites.
Chattanooga, a.k.a. the “Gateway to the Deep
Turning 150: Tri-State Area
Commemorates Civil War
By Nancy Henderson
One hundred fifty years after soldiers fired the first
shots in the Civil War, Americans are still fascinated
with the bloody battles that pitted brother against
brother. Now through 2015, Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama are commemorating the sesquicentennial with
reenactments, exhibits and other special events.
Georgia
Some of the most dramatic moments of the war took
place in Northwest Georgia, where monuments,
roadside markers and the self-guided Blue & Gray Trail
retrace routes straight out of Gone With the Wind. This
is the hub of the infamous Atlanta Campaign led by U.S.
Gen. William T. Sherman, who marched against
Confederate soldiers in 1864.
In October, the Annual Great Locomotive Chase
Festival takes place in Adairsville, where in 1862 James
Andrews’ notorious train thieves raced alongside the
Western & Atlantic with the Confederates hot on their
heels. In Rome, where Confederates captured Federal
cavalry raiders in April 1863, Civil War buffs can learn
about the era’s troop transportation and defense
blockades aboard a 55-passenger boat. In Cartersville,
one of the nation’s foremost Civil War artists, Mort
Kunstler, displays his paintings at the Booth Western Art
Museum in the “War is Hell” gallery.
Farther north, at the site of the greatest Confederate
victory and the deadliest two-day battle in the Western
Theater, is the first and largest national military park at
Chickamauga Battlefield. In February, the Chickamauga
Civil War Show and Sale in Dalton will feature hundreds
of tables filled with collectibles. In September, visitors
to nearby Tunnel Hill can experience the intensity of
battle through reenactments, tours and a period
costume ball. Near the Tennessee-Georgia border,
where the Confederate Army won its last major victory,

South,” became a focal point in late 1863, with Sherman
staging his Atlanta Campaign from the city and Union
troops
regaining
control in the
foggy Battle of
Lookout
Mountain
under the
direction of
Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant. Visitors
to Point Park, a
unit of the
Lookout Mountain Battlefield with a spectacular view of
the city and the winding Tennessee River, can explore
landmarks such as the Cravens House, home to some of
the heaviest fighting during the battle at Lookout
Mountain, and Snodgrass House, a Union field hospital.
A few miles northeast, Bradley County is gearing up
for a number of observances, including an illumination
at Cleveland’s Courthouse Plaza in July 2011 to
commemorate the Confederate victory at Bull Run in
1861 and a special exhibit in 2013 at the Museum
Center at Five Points. The Henegar House in Charleston,
where Sherman spent two nights on his way to and
from Knoxville in 1863, has its own interesting stories to
share. Owner Henry Henegar was a Union sympathizer;
his wife,Margaret Lea, favored secession.
