Things to Do Near Rossville, Georgia
The John Ross House is Rossville’s most important historic site. Built by Scottish trader John McDonald before the beginning of the 19th century, it is identified by Walker County as the oldest remaining structure in Northwest Georgia. The house later became associated with Cherokee leader John Ross, and the surrounding settlement took the name Rossville. The house stands at John Ross Commons, a city green space with a pond, walking track, picnic tables, and a playground. Rossville is also close to Chickamauga Battlefield, where visitors can explore museum exhibits, a driving tour, monuments, roads, and trails associated with the 1863 battle.
