  • This place exudes the serenity in reemergence of the fallen soldiers of so many years ago. My boyfriend and I toured the battleground and it was beautiful.

  • Never fails to amaze. You can almost feel the history around you. My sons especially love climbing on the boulders and enjoying learning some history while doing it. I highly recommend it it's memories that will last a lifetime.
  • I visit here at sunset as you can tell by the photos. You get a wide view of the battlefield and can see Devils Den from Little Round Top. It gives a really interesting perspectuve to what they saw during the battle here. I would offer some caution when climbing the rocks as people have gotten hurt and stuck between them.
