Stevens Knoll Tour

Southeast of Gettysburg, the high ground between Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill is connected by a low ridge dominated by a little knoll. Since the battle this has been known as Stevens Knoll, after Captain Greenleaf Stevens, the commander of the 5th Maine Battery (Battery E, Maine Light Artillery) that occupied it and fought off Confederate General Jubal Early's assault on the evening of July 2nd.

Few other monuments share the ridge, and traffic finishing its circuit of Culp's Hill (both Slocum Avenue and WIlliams Avenue are one way to the west) rarely stops, making it a bit of an oasis between often-crowded Culp's and Cemetery Hills.
