Acetylene Lighting at Chickamauga Park Military Post
The United States government reports the Chickamauga battlefield post uses sixty-five acetylene street lamps along six and a half miles of mains and two miles of service pipes. Since Fort Meyer trials the War Department contracted the Chickamauga plant in 1904 to provide safe, economical lighting for this historic site and other government institutions. Acetylene light is simple to produce, clear, and suitable for farms, villages, towns, and churches, reflecting national pride in modern illumination.
