Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is hosting a Christmas Open House at the Cravens House on Lookout Mountain. The Cravens House will be decorated by the Lookout Mountain Beautiful Garden Club in a manner very similar to the Civil War era.
This special holiday event will take place from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, December 4 and Saturday, December 5. Tours begin every 30 minutes. Reservations are required due to capacity limitations. To make a reservation, and for more information about this event, please contact the Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center at (423) 821-7786.
In 1863, the Cravens family spent Christmas away from their home on Lookout Mountain. In fact, only a skeleton of their once vibrant dwelling stood at Christmas. Union soldiers and war correspondents camping on Lookout Mountain stripped the home of its wood for tent flooring, firewood, and souvenirs. Learn about some of the experiences Union and Confederate soldiers and their families experienced after the Battles for Chattanooga during your visit to Cravens House.
