McLaws's and Pickett's Divisions

July 1 McLaws's Division arrived late in the day and camped in this vicinity.

July 2 In the morning McLaws's Division moved on the road towards Gettysburg but turning to the right half mile this side of Willoughby Run and crossing that stream lower down formed line as marked on the Battlefield. Pickett's Division marched by this place in the afternoon but followed the other road with some deflections to avoid being seen by the Union Signal Corps and crossing Willoughby Run lay that night in the west side of Spangler's Woods.

Marker is at the intersection of Fairfield Road (State Highway 116) and Black Horse Tavern Road, on the right when traveling west on Fairfield Road.
