been rediscovered and restored wherever possible. Today, Chickamauga is host to a wide variety of antique, boutique and specialty shops, as well as cafes and restaurants. Within a few blocks of the main shopping district are a number of public parks and historic sites, including Crawfish Springs Park, Coke Oven Park, and Holland-Watson Veterans Memorial Park. The Walker County Regional Heritage & Train Museum is housed in the historic train depot located in downtown Chickamauga. From April to September the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum offers weekend train excursions from Chattanooga to Chickamauga.
When the city was incorporated in 1891, the city's north-south avenues were named for Union and Confederate Generals. Today, avenues named for Longstreet, Hood, Crittenden, Stewart, and more, are clearly marked by large, wood framed signs displaying a description of the General's accomplishments, his picture, and flags of the period.
Several major Civil War battle sites and museums are located near the city: Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park, Lookout Mountain, Lee & Gordon's Mill, McLemore's Cove, and the Martin-Davis House, located at the site of the Battle of Davis's Cross Roads
