Illinois Monument at the Bragg Reservation on Missionary Ridge in the Chattanooga Unit of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
See the main Missionary Ridge page for a reservation location map.
The Bragg Reservation on Missionary Ridge in the Chattanooga Unit of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park marks the site of General Bragg’s headquarters. It is at this central section of the Confederate line atop Missionary Ridge that Union Major General George Thomas’s troops stormed up the hill on November 25th, routing the Rebels and sending them retreating down the back side of the ridge. You will find artillery, tablets, and a magnificent Illinois Monument, as well as minor monuments to Ohio and Missouri troops.
Parking is available at the Bragg Reservation. When you pull into the parking lot, a large building catches your eye. However, this is not part of the reservation, but a private house or building.
