Dunlap coke ovens, Industrial heritage site in Dunlap, Tennessee.
The facility contains five batteries of 268 beehive ovens constructed with sandstone exteriors and firebrick interiors at the base of Fredonia Mountain.
From 1899 to 1927, these ovens transformed coal from nearby mountains into coke for iron production in factories across Chattanooga and Birmingham.
The Coke Ovens Museum displays mining tools, restored cars, photographs, and special currency that workers used instead of standard dollars.
Located at 350 Mountain View Drive, the park offers free admission and remains accessible from sunrise to sunset with self-guided tours through 88 acres.
Each oven measures 12 feet in diameter and required 72 hours of sealed cooking time to transform raw coal into industrial coke.
