Pennsylvania Monument Description
Constructed 1909-10, the monument is made of North Carolina granite set over an iron and concrete frame. Adorning the base are bronze statues of Pennsylvania-born generals, Governor Curtin, and President Abraham Lincoln. The statues were sculpted by J. Otto Schweizer, Cyrus E. Dalin, Lee O. Lowrie among others. The prominent figure of Winged Victory by sculptor Samuel Murray, adorns the top of the monument. Around the base are bronze plaques that list the Pennsylvania regiments and batteries that participated in the Battle of Gettysburg. Each plaque is a list of members of each unit who were present during the three- day battle.
