The Monterey
Pass Battlefield Park is a Cultural & Historical Park located in Washington Township,
Franklin County, Pennsylvania that commemorates Pennsylvania's second
largest Civil War battle. The
Battle of Monterey Pass was fought for over ten hours on a
rugged mountain, in a blinding thunderstorm during the middle
of the night on July 4th & 5th, 1863.
The battle eventually spilled into Maryland during the early morning
hours of July 5th, making it the only battle to be fought on
both sides of the Mason Dixon Line. In the hours after the
battle, more than 80% of the Confederate army marched through
Monterey Pass, and many thousands of soldiers bivouacked
there.
