Point Park Offers Fee Free Weekend Feb. 14-16

  • Saturday, January 31, 2015

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Parks announce the waiver of entrance fees to Point Park, atop Lookout Mountain, from Saturday, Feb. 14 through Monday, Feb. 16.  Visitors will experience the majestic views of Chattanooga’s surrounding landscape from our nation’s first national military park.

The three days that park entrance fees are waived provide a great opportunity for visitors to learn about the importance of Chattanooga as it related to one of our nation’s presidents – Ulysses S.

Grant. In 1863, General Grant was transferred to the city in order to ensure it did not fall into Confederate hands. Visitors will discover why was Chattanooga so important during the Civil War. 

For more information about programs at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, contact the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center at (706) 866-9241 or the Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center at (423) 821-7786.
