I’m fully in favor of restoring the battlefield to what it looked like in 1863, sorry.
Of the Civil War battlefields I’ve seen, Gettysburg is by far my least favorite. A monument every 6 feet, etc....Can’t imagine the battle.
Antietam, by contrast, is about 10 times better. Far more moving seeing an empty field.
Its been fifteen years or so since my wife and I made a vacation out of Civil War battlefields. Gettysburg and Antietam being two of them.
Like you, I’m in favor of restoring the Gettysburg battlefield to what it looked like in 1863. On the other hand, if its the trees I recall from Devil’s Den, it was a very nice place on a hot day to stop and ‘reflect’ as noted above.
Antietam was a great place to visit, learned a lot, and the people of Sharpsburg are top notch. I hope to someday make a return trip via motorcyle.

That’s just The Angle at Pickett’s Charge field by the old visitor center and museum. The battlefield includes thousands of acres, woods, etc., in several locations around and including the town.
