Eight miles from Ridgeside Farm is the Chickamauga Battlefield Museum where these pictures were taken. Thank goodness Veterans came together in 1890 to commemorate the momentous battle at Chickamauga and a tip of the hat to the victorious Union that squarely defeated the Confederate Rebels on November 25, 1863 right here at Missionary Ridge. Come visit!

Tap to view!

Amid heartbroken thoughts by many about the crumbling situation in Minneapolis, and some people wondering if our country is even in the mood to celebrate its 250th anniversary, I realized an important local structure is also crumbling physically.
