In 1863, Union and Confederate forces fought for control of Chattanooga, the gateway to the deep south. The Confederate’s were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September, but renewed fighting in Chattanooga in November gave Union troops final control. The 5,200 acre Chickamauga Battlefield, scene of the last major Confederate victory of the Civil War, contains numerous monuments, historical tablets, wayside exhibits, and trails. The 3,000 acre Lookout Mountain Battlefield contains monuments, historical markers, trails, and scenic vistas.
Amy recommends the Chickamauga Battlefield: "I've been to this place after dark and I can't explain the rush I get when I go there. I feel like someone is watching me and a feeling of great despair comes over me. I absolutely love it! Here's a story I found on it!"
Green Eyes: A Local Ghost Story

Famous Tennessee whiskey distiller Jack Daniel decided to come in to work early one morning in 1911. He wanted to open his safe but couldn’t remember the combination. In anger, Daniel kicked the safe and injured his toe, which later developed an infection that killed him. You can still see the fatal safe during the distillery tour.

Mount Olivet has been continuously operated since its initial establishment in 1856. It serves as the final resting place for many of Middle Tennessee's political and business leaders, including several former governors of Tennessee, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Congressional Representatives. Additionally, "Confederate Circle" honors many who served on the Confederate side in the American Civil War. About 1,500 soldiers are buried there.
Zubrovka has an excellent photo-essay on the cemetery.
