Abandoned Military Base, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Located on 7,353 acres in the northeast part of Chattanooga, TN is a WW2 era military base. Originally constructed to produce TNT, this facility remained in operation between July 1942 to August 1945.
The base was reused again for the Korean War, and remained in operation until sometime in 1957. The base was then put on standby until the Vietnam War, and was used again between 1966, until the total operation was retired fully in 1977.
The military base consisted of 422 buildings, most of which today no longer stand. The land has been mostly sold off at this point, and the majority of it is now owned by Volkswagen. The Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga now sits on land that was once used as the military base. However, parts of the property are unused, and gated off. Public entry is not allowed unless by the permission of the property owners. However, some of the testing sites are still standing, and are open to public access via the Enterprise Nature Park, owned by Volkswagen and sits to the east of the Volkswagen Factory.
