State Memorials Map


The New York State Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park is located on the grounds of Soldiers’ National Cemetery (aka Gettysburg National Cemetery). The monument is 93 feet tall, including a 13-foot bronze sculpture of a woman holding a wreath of flowers for the dead. The woman faces the New Yorker section of graves. At the base of the column is a bass-relief sculpture that depicts officers who commanded troops at Gettysburg. Most are New Yorkers (which makes sense), but a few are from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Washington, D. C. (which doesn’t make sense). A tablet on the rear of the monument lists all New York officers killed or wounded at Gettysburg.

The memorial was dedicated in 1893.
