About Chattanooga's Missionary Ridge

Missionary Ridge: Chattanooga's Historic Neighborhoods

Julia Odom, Chattanooga Homes for Sale: Real Estate Agent in Chattanooga, TN

Before there were historic homes in Chattanooga, there was, well, history. Nowhere is that more evident than along Missionary Ridge.

On the morning of November 25, 1863, General US Grant's Union Army began its attack on Confederate General Braxton Bragg and his troops which occupied Missionary Ridge and the slopes below. The Union victory here was decisive, leaving strategic Chattanooga firmly in the hands of the Northern Army and set the stage for the march to Atlanta by General Sherman. Many monuments to the fallen & victorious remain along the Crest Road, which is divided into North Crest and South Crest.

The historic nature of the homes, many of which were built in the early to mid 20th century, along with stunning views of either downtown Chattanooga or the Brainerd area and beyond - sometimes both! - makes this a prime area for estate homes.
