The Pennsylvania and First Minnesota Monuments honor key contributions during the battle. The Pennsylvania Monument, the park's largest, features a grand dome, bronze tablets listing all Pennsylvanian soldiers, and statues of notable leaders like Meade and Reynolds. Climb to the observation deck for sweeping battlefield views. Across the road, the First Minnesota Monument marks the regiment's heroic charge on July 2, 1863, which halted a Confederate advance at great cost, losing over 80% of its men. The monuments are surrounded by interpretive signs, additional markers, and the dramatic landscape of Cemetery Ridge, central to the Union defense.
