The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park announces four upcoming events.
Survival on the Bend
Join a ranger today at 11 a.m. at Moccasin Bend National Archeological District for a free program on how prehistoric American Indians used various tools and weapons. This 45-minute program will be presented at the Blue Blazes Trailhead on Moccasin Bend.
The program will include information on spear points, animal hides, pottery and other artifacts as well as demonstrations of how native hunters used blowguns, scrapers and pump drills. Also, a popular American Indian game known as “chunky” will be demonstrated.
To get there, take the Manufacturer’s Road exit off US-27 N toward Cherokee Boulevard. Turn left onto Manufacturer’s Road, then left onto Hamm Road. Continue driving .8-mile, then turn left onto Moccasin Bend Road.
