Gettysburg Sculptures

"Then"

Levi Mumper would take this rare photograph (c1905) from the upper observation deck of the 12th and 44th New York Infantry Monument located on Little Round Top. Various monuments as well as a horse can be seen. The view is looking north.

"Modern Now View"

By comparing the Then and Now views, Little Round Top has become somewhat overgrown with bushes and small trees. This obstructs the modern view. Also, the pathways have changed and improved.

"Then"

Several items of interest from the original view.

A. Crawford Avenue. 

B. Electric Railway Line

C. Approx. location of the Pennsylvania State Memorial dedicated in 1910.

D. George Weikert Farm

A. General Warren Statue dedicated 1888

B. 91st Pennsylvania Infantry Monument dedicated in 1889.

C. Hazlett's Battery marker (The first 91st Pennsylvania Infantry Monument) and Parrott rifled cannon's.

Early William Tipton photo of the first 91st Pennsylvania Infantry Monument located on Little Round Top. It was positioned where the current large 91st Pennsylvania Infantry monument stands today. View is looking west.

The original 91st Pensylvania Infantry monument was moved east approx. 30 feet. The monument was then inscribed by the members of the 91st P.V. "in memory of Brg. Gen. Weed 3, Brig. 2. Div. 5, A.C. and Lt. Chs E. Hazlett, 5 U.S. Arty who fell on this spot July 2, 1863."

"Then"

This photo is of the c1914 battlefield map showing the road to and from Little Round Top is much different than todays road. The road then weaved among the boulders and monuments. In some period photographs, horses and buggies can be seen near the various monuments.

Modern "Now" View

Today the road leading to and from Little Round Top is currently fairly straight.
