National Medal of Honor Heritage Museum Admission Ticket in Chattanooga

Overview

Experience Chattanooga’s newest attraction, The National Medal of Honor Heritage Center. Our permanent exhibits take our visitors from the actions that prompted the First Medals during the Civil War to the War on Terror conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Heritage Center offers an immersive experience that puts our visitors in the boots of Medal of Honor recipients and brings their heroic stories to life. Imagine yourself in the church where Dr. Mary Walker treated wounded soldiers, or inside a trench manning a machine gun during WWI or fighting in the forest with Charles Coolidge as he single-handedly took on a German Pazer tank.

Your experience begins in our orientation theater, where you will see a short introductory video exploring the history of the Medal of Honor. When the doors to the theater open, you will be transported to the Civil War era and learn about the Andrew’s Raiders and the Great Locomotive Chase.

What To Expect

National Medal of Honor Heritage Center

Located in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center is dedicated to connecting people with the meaning and history of the Medal of Honor. The Heritage Center serves as an engaging storyteller and shares the real-life experiences of Medal of Honor recipients on their infamous day when they demonstrated extraordinary heroism under the most difficult circumstances. Each of these amazing, inspiring and, all too often, heart-breaking stories define the meaning of valor and the virtue of putting service over self. Every recipient has a narrative that is relevant to what we do – whether it be on a battlefield, in the classroom or board room and in everyday life. The National Heritage Center takes care of over 6,000 objects that tell the story of Medal of Honor recipients and fellow veterans from the Civil War forward. These objects are tangible reminders of the sacrifice of our men and women in arms.

My husband and I had NO idea how rich with history the city of Chattanooga is! Learning about the development of the area and about some of the major parts of the wars taking place here, was mind blowing to say the least. Best of all our guide Mr. Bob was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We would go back just to hear more about Chattanooga’s history from Mr. Bob any day. It was like getting to talk to an uncle with all the best war stories.

Very well done exhibits telling the history of the Medal of Honor, from beginning to present time. Told stories of recipients from Tennessee in depth. Bldg is 2 levels and there is an elevator to use.
