This post came from the wirechattanooga link to Twitter:
"The Tri-State Civil War 150th Commemoration Association met recently at 6th Cavalry Museum in Fort Oglethorpe to review and update the group's plans for celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Thirty people at-tended the meeting to learn about the launch of the group's website, approve the rack card brochure and other marketing plans. The Battle of Chickamauga will be re-enacted in 2013, drawing attention to the significance of the battle and bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the tri-state area. Voting membership in the association is $1,000 annually; non-voting membership is $500. To learn more about the Tri-State Civil War 150th Commemora-tion Association, go to www.Civilwar150th.org or contact co-chair Shelda Rees at ssrees@chattanoogacvb.com."
While the actual reenactment is still 2+ years away this is something to look forward to anybody interested in/pursuing a career in the field of history or education. This would be a great field trip opportunity for any teacher and students in driving distance of the Chattanooga area. Fortunately enough for those of us that are able to call Chattanooga home, we have great opportunities right in our backyard to see where history took place, with battles such as Chickamauga and Lookout Mountain being influential turning points in the war.
