President Warren G. Harding (1865-1923) traveled to Gettysburg in 1922 on his way to visit his home in Marion, Ohio. He stopped at Gettysburg to watch approximately 5,500 members of the United States Marine Corps reenact “Pickett’s Charge.” Along with other dignitaries, Harding watched Pickett’s Charge from the top of the Ziegler’s Grove Observation Tower on Cemetery Ridge.
