Stone Sentinels, battlefield monuments of the American Civil War

West Confederate Avenue Part 3

West Confederate Avenue continues past the State of Virginia memorial, dips down to cross a broad swale that is a tributary of Marsh Creek, then climbs back up to its previous altitude while continuing past a side lane to the monuments to three Union units that skirmished with Longstreet's men on July 2nd.

Pakring is available all along the road, which is one way southbound. There is additional parking at the State of Virginia memorial, where there is a trail across the field of Pickett's Charge to the Union lines on Cemetery Ridge.
