Following the Battle of Chickamauga, the Clisby Austin House was used as a Confederate hospital, which treated Confederate Lt. General John B. Hood after his right leg was amputated during the battle. Major General William T. Sherman also used the house as his headquarters in early May 1864. Sherman’s first dispatch to mention a “push to salt water” following the capture of Atlanta was written from here. Today, the grounds of the now-restored house are the site of the annual reenactment of the Battle of Tunnel Hill. The house is privately owned, and tours are not currently available.
