Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, in partnership with Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center, is looking for volunteers to help remove exotic invasive plant species along their shared boundary as part of Weed Wrangle 2024.
The story of the Ridges is one of many tragedies that took place during Cherokee Removal and one that culminated in the highest prices paid for what they thought to be the best path for their people. Major Ridge rose to prominence among the Cherokee in the early part of the 19th century and went from being a mentor to John Ross to one of his most outspoken critics.
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, in partnership with Preserving a Picturesque America, invites the public to participate in a special 1-hour program examining how the group takes a historic sketch from the two-volume set Picturesque America, published in 1872, and paints the same scene as it is today.

The 2023 Moccasin Bend Fall Lecture Series wraps up on Monday, November 13th at 7 p.m. featuring Principle Chief Richard G. Sneed. For millennia, cultures across humanity were diverse and unique. From language, dress, religion, and social constructs, people groups were as diverse as the lands they inhabited. This held especially true for the indigenous peoples of North America. As Europeans settled the “New World,” the unique cultures of Tribal Nations were both revered and reviled by those who sought to possess the land and its resources. In the late 1800’s the federal government of the United Staes implemented policies to systematically destroy the culture of tribal nations. Our discussion will review the history of systematic cultural destruction, and how the implementation of those policies still impacts tribal cultures today. Finally, as technology, communication, and media become globally ubiquitous, there is a risk of the homogenization of culture. We will discuss the need to be deliberate in our embrace, practice and celebration of the uniqueness of all cultures.
Bring your family and friends to Point Park to enjoy the amazing views, take in the late fall colors, and celebrate those who served our country on Veterans Day.

The 2023 Moccasin Bend Fall Lecture Series continues on Monday, October 2nd at 7 p.m. featuring Dr. Frank Varney. Chattanooga might rightly be described as the Gateway to the Confederacy. It was a vital point, the springboard for the campaigns which led to the capture of Atlanta and Savannah, and so helped to break Southern resistance and end the Civil War. It is ironic, then, that so much of the commonly-accepted history of the struggle for this city is laden with misinformation. And the source of much of that misinformation is Ulysses S. Grant.

The 2023 Moccasin Bend Fall Lecture Series begins on Monday, September 18th at 7 p.m. featuring Troy Wayne Poteete. Poteete's presentation will illuminate major upheavals that have threatened survival of the Cherokee Nation from the forced removal in 1838-39, through Oklahoma Statehood in 1907. Drawing inspiration from the resilience of the Trail of Tears generation, the Cherokees have confronted each crisis to preserve their government, history, culture, and language. He'll discuss the modern day Cherokee Nation, a distinct cultural and political entity, once again thriving in northeastern OK. Activities in support of the National Park Service marking and interpretation of the Trail of Tears removal routes provide opportunity for Cherokees to share with people in their original homelands, and along the routes their ancestors trod, this larger story of repeatedly triumphing over tragedy.
The public is invited to borrow a complimentary bicycle or bring their bicycles (recumbent or handcycles are appropriate) and join in the leisurely-paced historical rides, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. NPS rangers will talk about the history, while Outdoor Chattanooga staff and volunteers provide ride leadership and support.
