Conjuring future of Cravens House

Turning the landmark Cravens House into a visitors center is one of the ideas proposed by the National Park Service as it updates its management plan for Lookout Mountain Battlefield -- the land, trails, buildings and historic monuments the agency owns from the foot of the mountain to its peak. Historic preservation is the thrust. The idea is to have the battlefields look as they did during the Civil War. That could include removal of side buildings and features that came after the conflict. • Article.
