136th New York Infantry

The 136th New York monument is located just north of the current Visitor Center along the Taneytown Road. The memorial has an interesting tree stump shape that is draped with a soldier’s equipment. It marks the regimental position on July 1, 2, and 3, 1863.

The 136th was recruited from the counties of Allegany, Livingston, and Wyoming in the fall of 1862.

Their commander was Col. James Wood, Jr. (1820-1892), a lawyer from Geneseo.
