Cemetery Ridge Walking Tour at Gettysburg

The Cemetery Ridge trail will take approximately 90 minutes to complete and is slightly over one mile in distance. It will take you from the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center to Cemetery Ridge, where the center of the front line of the Union Army of the Potomac was located from the evening of July 1 through July 3, 1863. Heavy fighting occurred along the ridge on July 2, and on July 3, it was the scene of “Pickett’s Charge,” which determined the outcome of the battle.
