We will meet at the parking lot adjacent to Browns Tavern, next to Lookout Valley Elementary School. The street address is 705 Browns Ferry Road. The site is one mile north of I-24 Exit 175 on Browns Ferry Road.

Planned Activities

We will do brush clearing and limb trimming on the lot surrounding Browns Tavern. Browns Tavern is the oldest building in Hamilton County, dating back to 1803. Brush will be moved to Browns Ferry Road for subsequent pickup by the City of Chattanooga.

History or Educational Activities

Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park Historian Jim Ogden will discuss both the Civil War as well as the Cherokee history associated with Browns Tavern.

Should I bring any tools or supplies?

Yes. Volunteers need to bring their own work gloves as well as tools such as loppers and saws for cutting brush and limbs. Also, bring plenty of water.

Is there a rain date?

In the instance of inclement weather, Park Day will be moved to Saturday, March 15.
