Tipton Station

Tipton Station was a Gettysburg Battlefield trolley stop of the Gettysburg Electric Railway for passenger access to Crawford's Glen to the north,[1] Devil's Den (west), and Tipton Park (east).

An uphill trail led southwest to Big Round Top with its 1895 Observation Tower, and the "Slaughter Pen Path and Steps" were built to Devil's Den.

Tipton Park was an 1894 trolley park with a tintype photographic studio and food stand on private Slaughter Pen land purchased in March 1892[2] by photographer William H. Tipton, an investor[3] in the 1891 Gettysburg Electric Railway Company.

[1] The park property was one of the first trolley right-of-ways acquired [2] by the War Department after the 1896 US Supreme Court decision in the United States v. Gettysburg Electric Ry.

The 2 tracts of 14.2 acres (0.057 km2) were deeded on December 31, 1901,[5]: 321  after a May 7 federal hearing,[6]: '01  and the "eating house" was moved to the Little/Big Round Top topographic saddle (operated by "Blind Davy" Weikert).
