The park service constructed a number of towers on the battlefield near the end of the 19th century. It certainly wasn't the National Tower you saw because in 2000, the Gettysburg National Tower, built in 1974, was imploded.
"An observation tower overlooking the Gettysburg battlefield was demolished Monday by the Interior Department in a major step toward restoring the site to the way it looked during the Civil War."
The 307-foot National Tower at Gettysburg was dubbed an "eyesore" by Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, who was on hand late Monday for the toppling, accomplished with just a few pounds of explosives.
Makes no difference what it was called, it's just not there anymore!! Consequently it could not have been the one that is being ask about.
