The veterans of the regiment made two special excursions to Gettysburg for the dedication of their two monuments. In July 1884 they dedicated the monument on Blocher’s (now called Barlow’s) Knoll. This monument is located on the site where Captain James E. Moore was killed. Moore’s daughter Minnie, along with Colonel Noble’s daughter Fannie, unveiled the monument. The second took place a little more than 5 years later when they traveled once again to Gettysburg in October 1889 to dedicate their monument on East Cemetery Hill.
In addition to the stone monuments the veterans also had a flagpole installed on Barlow’s Knoll on the site where Lieutenant Colonel Douglass Fowler was killed. The veterans of the regiment gave a 9×15 US flag to area residents David and Oliver Blocher. A contemporary newspaper account stated that the flag would be “raised on national holidays and at all other times when it may seem proper that it should be thrown to the breeze.”
After a storm knocked the old wooden pole to the ground in 1895, the veterans association paid for a new steel pole to replace it. The veteran’s association installed the current flagpole in 1921 by. By that time, the association members were mainly the descendants and honorary members and only a handful of veterans.
On both occasions the veterans published special commemorative pamphlets. The transcriptions were the work of long-time site supporter Ginny Gage.
