Delaware State Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park
The Delaware State Memorial is located on Taneytown Road next to the parking lot for Soldiers’ National Cemetery (aka Gettysburg National Cemetery). It is the newest state memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park—and one of the newest in general—having been dedicated in 2000. This is unusual for monuments of any type representing Union states, for most of these were erected between the 1880s and 1930s. Confederate state memorials tend to be the newer ones.
William Barksdale Maynard designed the monument, and artist Ron Tunison created the bronze bas-relief sculpture. It features Delaware’s two infantry regiments at Gettysburg—the 1st and 2nd Infantry—fighting the Confederates during Pickett’s Charge on July 3, 1863.
