About

The Eternal Light Peace Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park commemorates unity between the North and South. Erected in 1938 for the battle's 75th anniversary, it features a granite and Alabama limestone tower crowned by a perpetually burning gas flame symbolizing peace. The site offers stunning views of the battlefield's northern sector, including Oak Hill and the fields where the first day's fighting unfolded. Surrounding the memorial are monuments and markers honoring units from both Union and Confederate forces. The tranquil setting invites reflection on the sacrifices made during the Civil War and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
