Gettysburg National Military Park contains the largest collection of outdoor sculpture in the world, with more than 1,300 monuments gracing the battlefield. In addition to the monuments, approximately 400 cannons dot the landscape, making it easier for visitors to understand what happened during the battle in July 1863.
