Stone Sentinels, battlefield monuments of the American Civil War

Gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg was the largest and deadliest single battle of the American Civil War, and a turning point in history. As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, 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.
