CHICKAMAUGUA BATTLEFIELD TOUR
STOP 2: THE BATTLE LINE
Allow up to 20 minutes for a visit
Stop 2 on the Chickamauga Battlefield Tour, The Battle Line, is located near the corner of Brotherton and Alexander’s Bridge Road, not far from the turnoff at Lafayette Road. This stop marks the northern end of the Union line on the second day of the battle, September 20, 1863. It was not far from this area that Abraham Lincoln’s brother-in-law, Confederate General Benjamin Helm, was killed. There are many finely sculptured monuments at this stop in addition to wayside exhibits. If you have time, you can walk down Battleline Road to see additional monuments. You will drive down this road when continuing on the battlefield tour, but if you want to take photos it is best to walk.
Allow 10-20 minutes, depending on how far you venture down Battleline Road.
