MAINX24: Junior Ranger Program

  • 400 East Main Street Chattanooga, TN USA (map)

Come meet a National Park Service Park Ranger and discover how you can become an official Junior Ranger with the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park!

Earn your Junior Ranger badge at MAINX24, a 24-hour street festival celebrating Chattanooga’s southside neighborhood, as you learn how to read and write script from the Civil War, transcribe letters written by soldiers during the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaigns, and imagine being a Civil War soldier wearing reproductions of Civil War uniforms!

This "Hands on History" program is free! Just bring a thirst for learning about the nation’s oldest and largest national military park!

Come find us after the Southside Parade. Just look for the pop-up Ranger Station at the National Park Partners Booth next to the Granfalloon at 400 E. Main Street.
