Get Out of the Car 2024- The Vermont Brigade On Cemetery Ridge- April 20

Addressing Gettysburg

THE VERMONT BRIGADE ON CEMETERY RIDGE (APRIL 20 – 10:00 A.M.)

“As soon as the change of the point of attack became evident, I ordered a flank attack upon the enemy’s column….. I saw another rebel column charging immediately upon our left….Colonel Veazey, of the Sixteenth, was at once ordered to attack it in its turn upon the flank.”

As Pickett’s Division marched into history on July 3, 1863, securing their right flank would be crucial to success. The men from Vermont would play a crucial role in helping to ensure they failed. Join us as we highlight the role of these 9-month men during their most important action.

MEET AT VERMONT MONUMENT ON HANCOCK AVENUE. ENDS AT 13TH VERMONT ADVANCE MARKER. PARK WHERE LEGAL
