New York State Monument

The New York State Monument is a tall granite structure topped with a large bronze statue of a female figure. The structure features bronze reliefs showing battle scenes and symbols representing different military services that fought at the location.

The monument was dedicated in 1893 to honor soldiers from the state who died in the 1863 battle. It was built to mark the state's role in this major event of American history.

The bronze reliefs around the structure show soldiers in moments of combat and leadership, reflecting how the battle shaped the state's identity. Visitors can see these scenes as a way New Yorkers chose to remember their fallen and honor their sacrifice.

The monument is located on the northeastern side of the cemetery grounds and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can spend time here to examine the bronze details and inscriptions at their own pace.

The front face of the monument displays symbols representing every military corps and service branch that fought at the battle. This careful design makes it a special record of how different units worked together during the conflict.
