Missionary Ridge
Missionary Ridge is a prominent ridge located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It played a significant role during the American Civil War, particularly in the Battle of Chattanooga in November 1863. The ridge rises about 1,400 feet above sea level and offers a strategic vantage point over the surrounding area.
The battle on Missionary Ridge was a decisive Union victory, contributing to the overall success of the Union Army in the Western Theater. Today, the site is preserved as part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, where visitors can learn about its historical significance and enjoy scenic views.
