In the American Civil War, Camp Gettysburg[1] was the Pennsylvania National Guard encampment that extending from Seminary Ridge. The new Round Top Branch was used to outfit the camp[2] (e.g., lumber for tent floors was shipped from New Oxford on July 22.)[3] The new reservoir at Marsh Creek supplied the camp's water,[4] and military drills included rifle matches at 200, 300, and 500 yards.[2]
