Antietam




These pre-Civil War fences are everywhere.


We stopped for a brief visit at the Antietam Civil War Battlefield.  I wish I could explain the battle and who won but it is not quite that easy.  I need more research and time to give the story, so for now we just have a few pictures.  We hope to come back at a later date and explore further.


A monument erected over a hundred years ago to allow a visitor to view the battlefield.




A view from the top of the tower.


A view from another direction.


Looking down inside the tower at Maria.


The boys posing with a canon that marks the spot where a general was mortally wounded.


This church has ties to the battle, but I don't know the history.  We only had 15 minutes in the park.
