On Saturday, March 8, at 2 pm, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will provide a 45-minute presentation discussing the story of men of the famed 1st Kentucky Brigade, or Orphan Brigade as it has come to be known, and their experiences during the Battle of Chickamauga. Participants will meet at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center before traveling out onto the battlefield. Please dress accordingly for the weather and a folding chair might be desirable.The Orphan Brigade left an impressive record across many battlefields of the Western Theater. At Chickamauga, they suffered more than many other units. To hear the story of these Confederate Kentuckians, we encourage you to join a park ranger for this special talk.
