The Union Headquarters monuments were created during the first decade of the 1900s when the War Department decided to provide the park visitor with a better understanding of the Battle of Gettysburg. Many monuments had been erected which told the experiences of Northern regiments and batteries, but other parts of the story were missing. Markers were erected for both Union and Confederate brigade, division and corps headquarters along with Confederate artillery batteries. The monuments were placed where these units operated and give a brief report of each unit’s activities and casualties.
Each type of headquarters has a unique monument design. You can learn how to identify these markers, as well as telling Union from Confederate, on this how-to page.
