In July of 1863 the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia met around the small crossroads town of Gettysburg in the largest battle of the Civil War. Today the Gettysburg battlefield is filled with hundreds of monuments and historical markers. It is a giant outdoor classroom where hyperlinks of stone and bronze help visitors explore one of the great turning points in American history.
This site features photos and information on over 850 monuments and markers. You can use the menus to search by army, state or type of monument, or tour the battlefield with interactive maps to explore the monuments along with battlefield farms and terrain.
