1st Maryland Potomac Home

Located on Lower Culp’s Hill near the Spangler Meadow is the monument to the 1st Maryland Potomac Home Regiment.  This regiment was raised from Baltimore and the counties of Frederick and Washington in the fall of 1861.  The commander at Gettysburg was Col. William P. Maulsby Sr. (1815-1894), a lawyer from Frederick.  This was a large regiment.

The monument marks the regiment’s position on July 3.  It is a relatively simple monument that features a bronze state seal and a carved Twelfth Corps star.
