The monument to the 78th and 102nd New York Infantry Regiments is our primary focus, but other landmarks are in view. On the far left is the marker to the brigade of George Sears Greene. Behind the marker, and mostly hidden by the snow is the monument to the 28th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. The Culp’s Hill Observation Tower is visible on the summit of Culp’s Hill. To the left of the 78th/102nd New York Monument is the marker for Lockwood’s Brigade. To the right of the 78/102 New York is the monument to the 150th New York Infantry Regiment. This view was taken facing north at approximately 12:00 PM on Sunday, February 14, 2010.
The Gettysburg area now has sunshine and highs in the 60s. However, before we reach spring later this week, we wanted to take a last opportunity to show you Gettysburg in the snow. During one of the days before the park roads were cleared we walked to and around Culp’s Hill just to document the appearance of the snow covered landscape. Today we visit the southern slope of Culp’s Hill.
