Welcome to the Online Home of the 155th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers
Welcome to a site dedicated to the memory of the 155th PA Volunteers. The 155th started their existence in response to the complete failure of the Northern efforts to put down the Southern Rebellion during the long summer of 1862, leading to the subsequent call of President Lincoln for 300,000 more volunteers to help preserve the Union from the Southern Rebels. The Citizens of Pittsburgh, and the surrounding area answered the call. Beginning in September 1862, the 155th would be engaged in 28 Battles including Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and Appomattox. The 155th Pennsylvania Volunteers closed out their Service on June 2nd 1865.
