Captain Charles Swett’s Battery hailed from Vicksburg, Mississippi. Little did the men of the battery know that their hometown would become the epicenter of one of the most grueling campaigns of the Civil War, but they would miss it by fighting in another state and in an army charged with defense of another city and state - Chattanooga, Tennessee. 

Come hear the story of Captain Swett and his men while also learning about (and witnessing) how a cannon was fired during the Battle of Chickamauga.
