The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military park fully reopened Saturday following the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Point Park and the visitor center were closed throughout the shutdown but fully opened at noon Saturday.
“We’ve missed the epic views from Point Park and the incredible exhibits in the Visitor Centers on Lookout Mountain and at Chickamauga Battlefield,” according to an online post by National Park Partners, an organization in place to help the park. “We’ve missed our Rangers sharing the stories of conflict and reconciliation that are deeply relevant in our lives today. Most of all, we missed the friendly faces of the dedicated public servants who care for our national treasures.”
