James J. Andrews and his Raiders are buried here. These Union Soldiers made Civil War History participating in "The Great Locomotive Chase". Check it out. More

Obviously a peaceful spot and very patriotic to see all the fallen heros that keep our great country safe. There is nothing else to see here except the rows of white plaques. I did however learn to drive here in a 3-speed van, as the winding hill goes straight up and down the other side and you can't hurt anyone...... More

What an awe inspiring walk through the rows of fallen heroes. Whether they served in battle or lived to tell their great-grandchildren of their service, this place holds this countries great national treasure - those who fought for our freedoms. In my view, this is second only to the National Cemetery at Arlington. More

This is extremely well kept! It is hallowed grounds! The graves date back at least to the Civil War. Many of my family members are buried here, including my dad. It's a very sacred place for me and my family. The staff has always been the most professional to us! The people who commandeered the "General" locomotive during the Civil... More

Very inexpensive, self guided tour. On a clear day you can see a majestic view of the whole Chattanooga area. Due to the self guided nature of the tour you can take your time and savor the experience. More

Our local National Cemetery for our Military hero's is a truly beautiful place to visit. The grounds are superb and the thousands of American flags placed on each grave on holidays is a sight to see. We often hear the 21 gun salutes as a funeral takes place. We feel blessed to have this cemetery!! More
