National Museum Park and Museums
Yesterday we spent most the day at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, which was the first National Museum and was created in 1890 with the purpose to preserve and commemorate the battlefields. The tour includes the battlefield with where are there are over 500 monuments and markers placed between 1890-1910.
Today we drove to Chattanooga and visited 2 museums - the Honest Charley Garage and Coker Car Museum and the International Wrecker and Recovery.
Honest Charly produced a parts book and as a boy when Big Bob got the catalog, it was to him it was like it was for me to me when Sears Christmas Catalog came.
We have been to many car museums and this one rates near the top. The amazing thing is, they are all owned by one man - Corky Coker. If you love old cars and motorcycles, you will want to plan a trip here.
International Wrecker and Recovery Museum was filled with wreckers dating back to the first one 1913.
We finished the day with a delicious dinner overlooking the Tennessee River
