Cemetery Hill was the keystone of the Union position at Gettysburg. The battered Union 1st and 11th Corps fell back and were rallied here by Generals Hancock and Howard at the end of the first day. There was hand to hand fighting with General Jubal Early’s Confederates as dusk fell on July 2. And artillery on its crest provided support for Union troops fighting on Culp’s Hill and defending against Pickett’s Charge.

Parking is limited on the busy Baltimore Pike, so many people make their visit to East Cemetery Hill part of a walking tour of the cemeteries or the shops on the south side of town.
