Witness Trees are those that stood during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Though it is documented that at least one hundred, if not more, Witness Trees remain standing on the battlefield today, it is uncertain whether any wood from these trees will eventually be available to Gettysburg Sentinels. The Witness Tree wood used for our products has been legally acquired from third parties, including the Gettysburg Foundation.

To learn more about these trees and their locations, we've partnered with Peter Lukacs, the leading expert on Gettysburg Witness Trees. You can find the first book in his Gettysburg Witness Tree series here.
