Notes |
The War Department laid out and improved the greatest number of avenues, most using the Telford method of road construction. In the early twentieth century the Telford avenues of Gettysburg were recognized as some of the finest roads in the country. The avenues were significant because they combined an awareness of advanced road-building technology with a sensitivity to the landscape on which they were constructed. This Telford construction survives as the solid base for many of the avenues in the park today, so while they are hidden, they continue to serve as material evidence of historic road building and of the veterans' vision of how they wanted their war efforts and comrades to be remembered. The early interpretive road system for the park combined the existing system of public roads, farm lanes and other historic traces with avenues laid out across the valley wherever the lines of battle formed. Tracing the development of this road system becomes a journey into the park's evolving interpretation of the Battle of Gettysburg and how the entire landscape is integral to that interpretation.
