On Saturday, April 10, Chickamauga National Military Park will be one of many Civil War sites across the country to host a volunteer workday as part of the Civil War Preservation Trust’s Annual Park Day. Volunteers can choose to participate in one of three projects – cultural landscape restoration of the historic Brotherton Farm, cleanup of two family cemeteries, or rehabilitating the U.S. Highway 27 Picnic Area. Restoration for Chickamauga Battlefield projects begins at Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center at 8:30 a.m. Work will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 12 noon.
In exchange for their hard work, volunteers will receive a T-shirt and the opportunity to participate in one of two special tours which begin at 1:30 p.m. Tours will start at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center and the Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center.
