It doesn't take long to drive around this lovely cemetery, but it's well worth a visit. The place is an oasis of calm and dignity located in a busy area of Chattanooga. Near the entrance is the burial place of Federal soldiers and civilians who tried to steal the Confederate railroad engine "the General" during the War Between The States.... More

Its good for a quick drive around not a place you are likely to spend more than 1/2 hour or so but still worth a look

We were able to find graves of family members due to excellent map. Beautifully maintained, quiet, serene cemetery.

Initially 2015 was thought to be the year that the Cemetery would be full, but they are under construction to add space that will extend the life to 2046. When driving through it is hard to describe your feelings when you see all the rows of markers of men and women who fought for our freedom. A very emotional experience.

This cemetery is a very peaceful and solemn setting for those resting here. We walked around and looked at the older graves. This cemetery is well kept.

Never visited until a relative was buried there and was over come by its beauty. Never thought of a cemetery as beautiful before. I had always found them as sad depressing place. Everything was well maintained and gracious. The beauty is only dampened by the purpose. It is a honorable place for the honorable people who are buried there and... More

Obviously, this is a sad place to have to visit, but it is truly a very well kept and run facility. Very proud of the Chattanooga National Cemetery and I so appreciate it being there for our military. ~ Jeffrey

As you make your way around Chattanooga, make the time to drive through the National Cemetary and pay your respects. I drove my kids through and we read some tombstomes, looked out at the mass of graves and thanked God we had these brave men and women, so we could even be on such a trip!

Every national cemetery I have seen is beautiful and this is no exception. I do not know how you can come through here and not feel a love of country and appreciation for those who gave their lives in the name of freedom.
