Time Travel with a Hike!
On September 19, 1863, Lieutenant Howard M. Burnham’s Battery experienced pivotal moments during the Battle of Chickamauga. This Saturday, history buffs and curious minds alike can join a ranger-led hike that will unfold the fascinating stories of these brave soldiers. Covering just one mile in about an hour, it’s an excellent way for families and friends to engage with our rich heritage.
Imagine standing in the very spots where courageous acts took place! The hike will explore the challenges faced by Burnham’s men, their strategies, and their experiences in the heat of battle. Ranger guides will weave together a narrative that brings history to life, so you won’t just be walking – you’ll be stepping into the shoes of soldiers from over 150 years ago.
So bundle up, bring your most comfortable walking shoes, and don’t forget your enthusiasm for stories from the past! This is a fantastic way to learn more about the sacrifices made during the Civil War while enjoying the stunning beauty that surrounds our military park.
