Harrison House Site

This post-war photograph of the Harrison House and farm was taken from the northwest not far from where the trail crossed the paved road. Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell, commanding the Confederates defending the salient, made his headquarters here on the evening of May 11. He conferred with Lee whose tent was pitched in the nearby yard and both officers rode forward from this vicinity when the fighting erupted at the Bloody Angle.

Marker can be reached from Gordon Drive, on the right when traveling west.
