The program will focus on the history of Catoosa Springs, a once-popular mineral-springs resort and the namesake of Catoosa County.

To reach Catoosa Springs, follow I-75 South to exit 345, bear left off the ramp onto Highway 41, turn right onto Highway 2, then left onto Keith Road to the Catoosa Springs entrance gate.
• On Sunday, Sept. 11, park staff will present "Andersonville -- The Epitome of Civil War Prisons: From Chickamauga to Hell." The talk will begin at 2 p.m. in the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center.
The 30-minute talk will focus on prisoners, prison systems during the Civil War, and how many Union men who were captured during the Battle of Chickamauga ended up at the notorious Georgia prison.
