Our Story

Established in 1874, the former Missionary Ridge Baptist Church lies at the eastern foot of Missionary Ridge and is the site of Chattanooga’s first African-American elementary school. With the adjoining farm, we hope to build interest in the fateful Battle of Missionary Ridge that foretold the end of the Confederacy. By sponsoring an urban farm and hosting cultural events, we can honor past generations and build upon the community spirit that began here some 142 years ago.
