This page is a web-based learning exercise to help you develop a mental image of the monuments that you will look for on your ride.
To skip this electronic “scavenger hunt” exercise and go directly to a map and photos, click here: USA State Monuments at Gettysburg – 1889-2000.
Our goal is to help you to plan a bicycle route that includes finding USA state monuments at Gettysburg. A map and some photos are your tools. Engage your brain before you start pedaling. If you know understand U.S. Postal code abbreviations, then you should be able to complete this exercise without doing any research.

Finding USA State Monuments at Gettysburg
For each monument’s photograph, find its location on the map. (Or you could do it the other way around: For each map location, find the associated monument photograph.)
I am deliberately leaving this work to you as a learning exercise. As you interact with the maps, photographs, and above table, you will find yourself learning more about Gettysburg National Military Park.
Then bicycle north on Hancock Avenue and into Ziegler’s Grove. Enter Soldiers’ National Cemetery (park and lock your bicycle). Visit the Indiana State Monument on a separate tour of the Culp’s Hill area.
