Gettysburg was a Battle of Engagement, not a Siege.
Gettysburg ended "Not with a bang, but with a whimper." After Pickett's Charge failed, Lee braced for a counterattack. When it did not materialize, he retreated the following day, and Meade failed to conduct a vigorous pursuit.
The Confederate army never went north again.
In the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the Union strategy consisted of establishing a secure defense line and then luring the Confederates into a direct attack. Due especially to past failures when going on the offensive, the Union force at Gettysburg opted for a defensive posture, with only limited offensive action to follow any generally successful engagement.
These two locations were areas of engagement on July 2, 1863 of the Battle of Gettysburg. The 20 acre area known as the Wheatfield was owned by the John Rose family and became known as Bloody Wheatfield. The Peach Orchard had been planted by Joseph Sherfy in 1858. It was bought by the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association in 1890.

Lee was drawn into the Battle of Gettysburg by mistake. General Henry Heath advanced on Gettysburg on the morning of July 1, 1863, in order to capture a supply of shoes in the area. His men were attacked by General Buford's cavalry division. By the time General Lee arrived on the battlefield in the afternoon, several other Confederate units had joined General Heath and the battle had developed into a major engagement. General Lee ordered the rest of his army to concentrate at Gettysburg with the goal to capture Gettysburg and defeat the Union forces defending it.
