Orchard Knob Reservation is the physical hill that stands in the heart of the historic Orchard Knob neighborhood here in Chattanooga.
As a natural area, it is unique for this city: it’s a National Park, filled with native grasses, rare flowers - even a type of cactus that grows beside its towering Civil War monuments.
The story from William Newlin of Chattamatters - the second and final part in a series on the Orchard Knob neighborhood.
