    The tour begins at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, a historic train station that symbolizes the city’s connection to the railroad industry. Your guide will introduce you to Chattanooga’s early days, focusing on the 19th century when the city was rapidly expanding due to its strategic location. The Choo Choo serves as a gateway to understanding why and how Chattanooga became an important transportation hub. The guide will explain the city’s unique problem of recurring floods and the radical decision to elevate the streets in the 1870s, effectively creating a hidden underground layer of the old city.

    Next, the tour moves to Patten Parkway, a significant site where the underground network begins. Here, you'll learn about the original street levels that now lie beneath modern Chattanooga. The guide will provide context about the flood of 1867, which prompted the city to raise the streets, leaving behind the former cityscape buried below.
