Chattanooga's Landmarks

Then and Now

Chattanooga looks a teeeny bit different than it did back in the day. We looked through our own files and partnered with the Chattanooga Historical Society (Picnooga) and Sam Hall of Chattanooga History to showcase what the city looked like THEN compared to what it looks like NOW. It is interesting to see just how much Chattanooga has grown over the years.
