Culp's Hill Observation Tower - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Look-Out Towers on Waymarking.com

During the battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863, Culp's Hill was the strategic right flank of the union line, at the 'barb' of what is commonly called the "fishhook" battle line.

Culp's Hill became a prime tourist attraction after the battle. It was close to the town and, unlike most battles in open fields, it was heavily wooded and the extreme firepower took a very visible toll on the trees, some of which were completely sheared off. Geary's division alone on July 3 reported that they expended 227,000 rounds.[32] It took over twenty years before the scars of battle faded and nature reclaimed the breastworks.
