For civil War history buffs and genealogists, you cannot beat North West Georgia. On Battlefield Parkway in Rossville is Home Town Inn and Hampton Inn. I would recommend Hampton Inn personally. There are also a lot of well-known properties one exit south off of I-75, and also motel properties in Ft. Oglethorpe GA. Memorial Day week was my second trip... more

We really enjoyed stopping off at this battlefield on our way into Tennessee. It is very educational and beautiful at the same time. We stopped off at a little visitor center where the gift shop inside was great but pricy. There is a main road to drive through the area and lots of little areas where you can pull over... more

If you're going to review this National Military Park, first get a clue. There aren't too many monuments and markers here, there are not enough! The state of Louisiana never got around to providing them for it's soldiers who fought here. The many that are there can be located from an invaluable map available in the Visitor's Center. There are... more

Chickamauga NMP was an excellent stop on our drive through the area and well worth the hour and half we spent there. The visitor center seemed a bit sparse, but the information was all out in the park. There are innumerable memorials and monuments. The auto tour was excellent as is a new feature they have - a cell phone... more

I understand the point of monuments... I really do. Unfortunately, there are way too many at Chickamauga Battlefield. I grant (no pun intended) that many of them are impressive.. I know I'm not up on the fine details of the civil war (which the visitors center provides excellent information to get you up to speed), maybe I did miss the... more

Start at Lookout Mountain and marvel that anybody fought a battle on such a steep slope. You can get pictures of Chatanooga from up here but it tends to be misty and it is so far up that you need a good camera to get good pictures. Some of the paths are quite steep so are not suitable for the... more

The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park spreads itself out over two states, and terrain ranging from flat lands to mountaintops. You can see it in a day by driving through major points, but to see it all properly, you'd need about a week. For those with limited time, take the driving tour of the Chickamauga battlefield, in northern Georgia,... more

Traveling to Chickamuaga Battlefield in Fort Olgethorpe is a must do vacation. The friendly park service members are very knowlegable and give daily mini sessions on the importance of the battle, why the Confederates won this particular battle but lost the war. A trip that will take you back in time to place like no other. While visiting the park... more

A must if you are at all interested in history. Visit the museum first, then drive around the battlefield. You might even get to see deer in the park! One must realize though, this is not an amusement park. This is a significant piece of American history, to be appreciated in the calm and quiet setting provided by the park.... more
