Monument to 3rd Wisconsin Battery - Van Cleve's Division Chickamauga, GA 30707

Welcome to the Monument to the 3rd Wisconsin Battery - Van Cleve's Division, a historic landmark located in Chickamauga, Georgia. Situated amidst the serene beauty of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, this monument commemorates the valor and sacrifice of the 3rd Wisconsin Battery during the pivotal Battle of Chickamauga in 1863.

In September of that year, Union and Confederate forces clashed in a fierce battle for control of Chattanooga, known as the "Gateway to the Deep South." Although the Confederates emerged victorious at Chickamauga, their triumph was short-lived as Union forces reclaimed victory and control of Chattanooga in November. This turning point in the Civil War marked a significant shift, leading a Confederate soldier to ominously declare, "This...is the death-knell of the Confederacy."
