After driving through Chattanooga and past Chickamauga more times than I can say, I am finally going to the site Friday for a few days to take in what I can in a few days time. Ill also be visiting the National Cemetery there. Does anyone have suggestions on behind the scenes things to see that wouldn't normally be obvious the typical visitors?

Remember Chattanooga was almost surrounded and was under siege, Lookout mountain and the cannon sites on the mountains to the east, could be of interest. Chickamauga covers a large area. By all means go to the Information center first and be get all the information you can. I drive around to the beginning of the battle and follow the course of the conflict, even if I have to backtrack. This helps me to see it from soldiers view point, after all they did the fighting. The generals directed and sometimes lost. Are you coming from the South? I found Kennesaw Mountain to be very interesting. I went to Andersonville, last July, would have liked to have met you. The POW Museum is worth the visit, alone.
