The battle of Monterey Pass was fought on July 4-5, 1863 and is the second largest Civil War battle in Pennsylvania and was the only battle that was fought on both sides of the Mason and Dixon Line. Being a direct route to the Potomac River, Monterey Pass was used by the bulk of the Confederate Army during its withdraw from Gettysburg. The Monterey Pass Battlefield Association offers programs for kids and guided tours on a reserve basis. We do offer a self guided tour that is about 22 miles long that shows the highlights of the battlefield. Please log onto our website for additional information.
