Gettysburg National Tower, 1974-2000

Big and Little Round Top from the Gettysburg National Tower

The Wheatfield in the distance. Sight of Pickett's Charge
and the, now gone, Cyclorama
from the Gettysburg National Tower
This may have been the only time I climbed the Gettysburg National Tower. June 1, 1985 and I was home on leave at the time. The Tower opened July 29, 1974 on private property just outside the Gettysburg National Battlefield. The government fought it as an eyesore and finally took it through eminent domain and the 307 foot tall tower was demolished July 3, 2000.
