Chattanooga is the site of three Civil War battles. It is nestled in a valley through which the Tennessee River runs. It used to be a highly industrial town, but now caters mostly to tourists. Aside from the brand new Tennessee Freshwater Aquarium (they are currently building the Saltwater Aquarium) downtown, there is also nearby Lookout Mountain, Rock City (a bunch of caves and natural rock bridges that a rich woman made into a garden), Ruby Falls (a huge underground waterfall), and the Chattanooga Incline Railway. Downtown there is also an IMAX Theater and a children's Discover Museum. There are many good restaurants downtown, opening in an area that is gutting the old factory buildings and rennovating them to make way for new shopping areas. A stroll along the Tennessee River downtown will lead you to the largest and oldest pedestrian-only bridge. At the north end of the bridge is a real school for wood carvers of carousel animals, and a carousel made by the students. Just north of Chattanooga is the Booker T. Washington State Park. It says you have to pay a car park fee, but as I understand it, that's only if you are putting your boat into the water and are leaving your car there unattended. There are many road signs for renting a log cabin in the mountains. Coolidge Park, Frazier Avenue
