Emmitsburg Road north of the Peach Orchard was the scene of fierce fighting on July 2nd between Union General Andrew Humphrey's Division and the Confederate Divisions of Generals Lafayette McLaws and Richard Anderson.
Parking along fast and busy Emmitsburg Road is not recommended, but Sickles Avenue (one way northbound) is a much quieter and safer place to stop and explore the area.
