Barlow Knoll

Formed around a low knoll north of Gettysburg, Barlow Knoll became a key site in the opening day of the Battle of Gettysburg. On 1 July 1863, Union troops led by Brigadier General Francis C. Barlow advanced here before Confederate forces overran their position; the knoll bears his name. The rise stands in the rolling farmland of Adams County, near Rock Creek and the northern approaches to Gettysburg. Rather than a town centre, it is a historical landmark in the wider battlefield setting, where fields and roads still suggest the scale of the campaign.
