Evergreen Cemetery – formerly called Citizen's Cemetery[1][2] and Ever Green Cemetery – is a historic 29.12 acre rural cemetery[3] located just outside Gettysburg Borough, in Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States.[4] It is part of Gettysburg Battlefield Historic District, and is surrounded by Gettysburg National Military Park and Soldiers' National Cemetery.
The cemetery played a strategic role in the July 1 to 3, 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. Four months after the battle, at the dedication of the immediately-adjacent National Cemetery, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his "Gettysburg Address" from a platform in Evergreen Cemetery.[5][6]
