Chickamauga Campaign Heritage Civil War Trail
Historic Markers of Marion County
"Running Water Creek Bridge"
 | ||||||
The new interpretive marker for Running Water Creek Bridge was installed earlier this year (2008) near the present-day railroad bridge. The original location of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad bridge told about by the sign was about a mile farther up the valley road towards Chattanooga. Some piers for the old bridge can be seen to the left at the original location. The bridge in background of photo below was completed around 1912. For more information on the trail and other markers please visit www.ChickamaugaCampaign.org.
