Some Civil War Sites
















We visited the old Dunkard Church at Antietam where many young American lives were lost on both sides. The church was turned into a field hospital. We also visited Burnside's bridge. Both of these areas were significant center points of battle on Sept. 17th, 1862, the worst single day of combat in American history. Approximately 5,000 lives were lost on that one day.
