Chattanooga Attractions

 
Chattanooga, situated in south-eastern Tennessee on the border with Georgia, was once an outlying settlement of the Cherokee Indians. It is now a city of 150,000 inhabitants in which the first Coca-Cola bottling plant was established and the game of minigolf was invented. The popular song "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" brought it international fame; and visitors can still see the original railroad station of 1909, though it is now converted into a hotel and restaurant arcade. Railway buffs will also find here the largest steam railroad in the south, the Tennessee Valley Railroad. The city has a number of museums, including the Hunter Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts and the National Knife Museum (knives down the ages). A steep railroad runs up Lookout Mountain, scene of the battle of Chattanooga during the Civil War; on the top, as well as enjoying the view, visitors can study the history of the battle.
