High Water Mark of the Rebellion Monument
Pennsylvania · United States
The High Water Mark marks the closest point the Confederacy came to victory during the Battle of Gettysburg. Located along the field where Pickett’s Charge took place, it’s here that Confederate soldiers advanced in a last-ditch effort to break Union lines. Despite initial successes, the charge faltered, and the Confederates were repelled. Today, visitors can reflect on this pivotal moment in history, where the Confederacy's high-water mark was reached before their eventual retreat from the battlefield.
