To the surprise of many, Signal Mountain actually consists of the town of Signal Mtn. and Walden, and is located on what is known as Walden's Ridge.
Entertainment is more so in the historical landmarks than the town's lifestyle. These sites include The W road with its hairpin curves, the Conner Toll house, and Mabbitt Springs. We must not forget the
well known Signal Point which holds magnificent views of the Tennessee River and Valley. In 1863, The Union
Army used Signal Point to communicate to the Chattanooga area as
well as Lookout Mtn. Just before you reach Signal Point you will pass what was once Signal Mtn. Inn (1913) that has been converted to Alexian Inn and built alongside Alexian Village; a now booming Tennessee Retirement Facility.
Signal Mountain is considered a rather Ritzy area of Chattanooga to most
people. It is a one stoplight town with a reputation for a population of wealthy
Republicans. Residents are rumored to be in talks of making it a privately gated town. More often referred to as 'Signal' with rather
small population of
church-every-sunday folks.
