Museum Looking for an Artillery Museum

[DixieRifles]

I used to hear a lot about an exceptional museum at Chickamauga that had a great selection of cannon. I wasn't sure if it was part of the Chickamauga National Battlefield Park or a private museum.
Is there such a museum somewhere around Chattanooga?

There are also some very interesting cannons behind the Chicamauga Museum.......one in particular was an 1841 Six Pounder that was rifled and a blade front sight with a hood was installed right at the swell of the muzzle.........interestingly, since it used a Pendulum Hause rear sight, when they sighted in the piece, they had to BEND THE FRONT BLADE to correct a windage issue.
