Tennessee Polks Brigade Monument
Located in the heart of Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, the Tennessee Polks Brigade Monument stands as a solemn tribute to the valor and sacrifice of Confederate soldiers during the pivotal battles of the Civil War. Situated near the historic grounds of Chickamauga and Chattanooga, this monument offers visitors a glimpse into a defining moment in American history.
In 1863, the Union and Confederate forces clashed in a fierce struggle for control over Chattanooga, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Deep South." While the Confederates claimed victory at the Battle of Chickamauga in September, the tide turned in November as Union forces secured a decisive win in Chattanooga, marking a turning point in the war. A Confederate soldier poignantly remarked on these events, calling them "the death-knell of the Confederacy."
Join us in commemorating the 161st Anniversary of the Battle of Chickamauga with a series of engaging programs scheduled for September 14-15 and 18-20, 2024. These events provide a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the history and significance of these battles.
