Antietam National Battlefield - Maryland
Antietam National Battlefield comprises 3,255 acres of forested and agricultural lands in north central Maryland and is the site of culmination of the first Confederate invasion of the Union on September 17, 1862. The landscape found on the fields of Antietam provides visitors with a view back into time, to see the land as it appeared, when two great armies fought here 142 years ago.
Across this pastoral setting are over 40 Historic Buildings, miles of wooden fence and stone walls defining the acres of fields on which 23,110 soldiers were killed or wounded. The National Battlefield offers a Visitor Center, a nine mile tour road, three self guiding trails and the opportunity to immerse oneself in a time which changed this nation for ever.
