LIVE ARTILLERY - Program Times: 10:30 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, & 2:30 pm

Artillery made Lookout Mountain important during the siege of Chattanooga. Using the heights to their advantage, Confederate batteries ensured no supplies were able to come into the beleaguered town. Then, they were involved in the defense of the mountain itself on November 24, 1863, in a battle in which the geography that earlier benefited them took a turn, and nature itself seemed to work against the gunners. These 30-minute programs will explore the role artillery played in the siege and in the “Battle Above the Clouds”.
