The 7th OVI saw combat at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. In 1885, the Ohio General Assembly appropriated funds to erect several monuments honoring fallen soldiers in Gettysburg at the sites where Ohio regiments fought during the battle. This stone structure sits on Culp's Hill in Gettysburg National Military Park and marks the position held by the 7th OVI on July 2 and 3, 1863.
