Antietam Visit

Travel back in time to Antietam in 1862, and witness the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. A battle in which 23,000 men were killed, wounded, or captured. This reenactment of the battle at this tributary of the Potomac River near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and of President Lincoln’s secret visit with Union General McClellan soon after, will expand students’ understanding of an important time in American history. Period dress and quotations from diaries and letters reveal fascinating perspectives.
