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.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for visiting the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center?

A: No age restrictions! The museum is designed for all ages. Kids really enjoy the immersive aspects, and there's a lot to learn that can spark their interest in history. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need some supervision during the more intense displays.

Q: Is it easy to park near the museum? Any recommendations?

A: Parking is fairly easy! There’s a parking lot right next to the museum. It’s usually not too crowded, but on weekends, it can fill up fast. If you're visiting during a busy time, I recommend arriving a bit earlier to snag a spot.

Q: What should I wear? Is there a lot of walking involved?

A: Wear comfy shoes! There’s a fair amount of walking, especially if you want to explore all the exhibits. The museum is wheelchair accessible too, so no worries there. Dress casually, and maybe check the weather since part of the experience might involve outdoor elements.

Just visited the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center!

I went last weekend and wow, what an experience! The orientation theater was super cool, and the way they brought the stories of Medal of Honor recipients to life was so moving. I especially loved the part about Dr. Mary Walker. I think this would make such a great gift for someone who loves history or military stories. Seriously considering getting tickets for my dad’s birthday!

Thinking about gifting tickets to the Medal of Honor Center

I’ve been looking for something unique to give my brother who’s a huge military history fan. Has anyone done the experience? How long does it usually take to go through everything? I want to make sure it’s worth the trip from Nashville!
