The Copse of Trees is a symbolic landmark on Cemetery Ridge, marking the Confederate "High Water Mark" during Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863. This small cluster of trees became the focal point for the Confederate assault's culmination and eventual repulsion. You'll find nearby monuments commemorating Union and Confederate units, including the High Water Mark Monument, honoring the Union's successful defense. Interpretive signs detail the charge's dramatic events, and the surrounding area offers views of the battlefield, including Seminary Ridge. This historic site provides insight into one of the Civil War's most pivotal moments.
