Set out on a journey that celebrates the South’s history, music, natural beauty, and love of rail travel. Belles & Rails of

Chattanooga combines historic homes and landmarks with scenic train rides, a riverboat cruise, mountaintop gardens,

fascinating museums, and the underground wonder of Luray Caverns.

 

Begin with a visit to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s historic home, and enjoy a traditional Southern meal at Michie Tavern.

In Chattanooga, discover Rock City Gardens, with winding paths, striking rock formations, lush gardens, and panoramic

views. Learn about the towing and recovery industry at its dedicated museum, then enjoy an evening of Southern

hospitality and a relaxing cruise on the Tennessee River aboard the Southern Belle Riverboat.

 

Ride the historic Lookout Mountain Incline Railway for sweeping views of Chattanooga and the surrounding valley.

Explore the Chattanooga Choo Choo, visit the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, and spend time at the

Tennessee Aquarium, where freshwater and saltwater habitats reveal a fascinating range of aquatic life. A scenic train

ride along Missionary Ridge connects the region’s landscapes with its Civil War history, while a visit to the Birthplace of

Country Music Museum in Bristol celebrates the influential 1927 Bristol Sessions and the roots of a uniquely American

musical tradition.

 

On the journey home, take in Richmond’s landmarks and history on a trolley tour before visiting Luray Caverns, where

immense chambers, stone formations, and crystal-clear pools create an unforgettable finale. Along the way, enjoy

regional meals and comfortable overnight stays. With a varied mix of trains, river views, music, history, gardens, and

natural wonders, Belles & Rails of Chattanooga offers a memorable way to experience several distinctive Southern

destinations.
