National Medal of Honor Heritage Museum Admission Ticket in Chattanooga
Description
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.

Itinerary
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.

Nicely done. Gives the stories behind the hero’s in a new and inspiring light.
Thanks for visiting with us and sharing this kind review!
Excellent Museum we enjoyed all of the displays. I would gladly visit again. And highly recommend visiting to friends and family.
Thank you Sara! We're so pleased you stopped by to visit with us!
The air was not working in the building so it was extremely hot walking around. Couldn’t really enjoy it because we were sweating and just ready to leave and get cool.
So sorry for the heat on your visit. The crews have been in the building the past week repairing it, and we're happy to provide free tickets the next time you visit with us, so you can enjoy the center in a optimal environment.
Awesome experience! It was not crowded so we have plenty of time of see everything.
Thank you for your kind review, we're so glad you had a nice time.
Great visit very educational
Thank you for your kind review Elias!
It was a wonderful experience! All of the workers were super nice and helpful! Super interesting and also thought provoking. We learned some things that we didn't know before. It was nice to have a few places to sit and watch videos as you went through, but it would be very helpful to have more of those, as it is a lot of standing and walking, which can become difficult for the elderly or handicapped. Also, more handicap parking places would be great! All in all, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend others visit!!!
