As the birthplace of the tow truck, one of the many museums Chattanooga has to offer is the International Towing And Recovery Hall Of Fame And Museum, hosting many old vehicles and tow trucks, as well as the Wall of the Fallen: A memorial to generate public awareness of the dangers involved in the towing & recovery industry and to permanently record and commemorate those lost. Other museums in the area include Hunter Museum of American Art, the Chattanooga Regional History Museum, and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, the largest operating historical railroad in the south.
