I was in the area and it was close by so I stopped. The church was closed but this area is full of American history.

We had 2 of my wife's sisters and their husbands from out of town, so we thought it would be interesting to visit this, as it is close to our home. We were greeted by the museum guide, a charming older man. We found him to be quite knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the civil war in Ringgold. We saw the blood stains on the floor and the horse bite marks on the pew that was used for a feed trough.He told us that General Grant was quite upset with General Sherman because the battle at Ringgold, which killed 500 Union soldiers, didn't have to happen. The battle's objective was to gain access to the gap through the mountain ridge in order to march south to Atlanta. However, Sherman could have marched his army through Parker Gap, 8 miles north and accomplished the same access to the south and without any resistance from the Confederate army. We happen to live in the Parker gap area!My wife played the song Leaning on the Everlasting Arms on the very piano it was written on. Now that's kinda cool! !Admission is free. We all gave a donation. Come out to this charming gem!

The interior is filled with artifacts from the past, focused on the civil war period. The docent, RC Grant, gave a lot of interesting facts and additional information, including an assortment of jokes.

There's lots of history here, and it was well worth the trip to visit. There are lots of artifacts from the Civil War and beyond as well as Native American pieces and information.

This is a civil war church that has blood stains on the floor from being a hospital during the war. Easy to get to.
