The Confederates did make it further than Gettysburg. They were routed at Wrightsville when the Union burned the Wrightsville Bridge, plunging a portion of the confederate troops into the Susquehanna River and leaving the rest stranded on the western shore (due south of Columbia. A small portion of the remaining troops tried to cross the river again northwest of Harrisburg (ordered to try and take the state capital) but the troops were separated in Camp Hill. A small group did manage to cross the river but were quickly captured while the remaining troops quickly retreated.
Up until about 15 years ago, the river was lined with miniature flags from Yorkhaven/Bainbridge down to Else Island with the 35 Star US flags on one bank and the Confederate Battle Standards on the other. Unfortunately, the houses, businesses and parks that maintained the Confederate side of the river started being vandalized by people who didn't understand that it was marking the place where the confederates were defeated and turned back; leading to nearly all of the flags being removed. Likewise, most of the Union flags were removed as well since they no longer had a counterpart opposite them on the river.

You need to relocate Albany on your map. If you imagine New York as a T on its side, Albany is close to where the T meets - just along the Hudson River. It is several hours drive from New York City.
