Visitors to downtown Chickamauga may notice a colorful new addition to the area’s growing collection of public art.
Walker Rocks announced the completion of its newest mural, created by artist Jonathan Bidwell, celebrating one of Walker County’s most recognizable landmarks—the Wilder Tower.
The mural is located in downtown Chickamauga and highlights the historic observation tower, which visitors can now easily reach by using the recently opened John Culpepper Chickamauga Battlefield Connector Trail. The connector trail provides a convenient link between downtown Chickamauga and the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, making the Wilder Tower more accessible to both residents and tourists.
Walker Rocks shared its excitement about the project, encouraging the public to stop by downtown to see the artwork and take advantage of the nearby trail to visit the landmark featured in the mural.
The installation is the latest effort to enhance downtown Chickamauga through public art while showcasing the natural beauty and historic attractions that make Walker County a destination for outdoor recreation and heritage tourism.
