Gettysburg Campaign

Bedford County · dedicated 1963 · Church View Rd., SR 1005 (former PA 36 & LR 286) at State Game Lands, 5 miles S of Loysburg

Entrenchments still visible by the roadsides were prepared in June, 1863, by militia under Col. J.C. Higgins against threatened Confederate attack toward the railroad at Altoona. The march of troops toward Gettysburg on June 30 - July 1 ended the danger and the need for these defenses.
