3 Best Landmarks in Chattanooga, TN

I used Craven House parking area to hike to Sunset Rock. About a 3 mile in-and-out hike through the woods with many lovely vistas. The rock formations scattered throughout the woods are amazing. On a clear day, the views of Chattanooga from Craven‘s House are magnificent. It’s a lovely spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the area.

This is a hidden gem of the Chattanooga area. Great for a quiet picnic or an easy afternoon stroll. For the more adventurous hiker there are also trails that connect to more technical trails on the side of lookout. For the historian this place is significant and lots of rich history scattered around the park.

Such a beautiful view! I’ve been here many times in the last few months. There is a covered porch which works well when the weather changes quickly! You can’t enter the house so tickets are needed. Pretty good amount of parking too.

The museum is a mix of classic and modern architecture and features an extensive collection of American art with a few European artists mixed in. While it doesn't boast a huge number of famous artists there are a few pieces by Warhol, Hopper, Wyeth, Wood and Sargent in the collection. The main part of the collection is 1800's to mid 1900's American art and it's a very nice collection. There is some modern and contemporary art mixed in. The museum includes some interactive areas, including one to make an expressive self portrait to be featured on a screen at the beginning of the walk through. Unfortunately, we didn't get to venture through the sculpture gardens because it was raining. It's definitely worth a trip, and you get 3 hours of free parking validated inside the museum.

What a great experience while located in Chattanooga. You can drive here or walk here really easily. There’s plenty of parking areas and it’s right on the heart of the river. I’ve been inside many times for different parties and social gatherings. However, the coolest part about this place is what it holds outside. You’ll see beautiful pictures of the Tennessee river, several bridges, the river walk, and our littered along the way in a super tasty and passionate way you gotta check this place out.

Beautiful museum. I loved how it was laid out. Early 1900s to late 1900s in one part of the building then in the mansion 1800s art. Also enjoyed seeing an Andy Warhol original.
