Battle Walk: Pickett’s Charge

On the afternoon of July 3, 1863, nearly 12,000 Confederate soldiers stepped off into open fields under blistering fire, advancing toward the heart of the Union line. Known as “Pickett’s Charge,” this bold and bloody assault marked the climactic moment of the Battle of Gettysburg—and a turning point of the Civil War.

Join a National Park Service Supervisory Ranger for a walking journey across the ground where history teetered on the edge.
