  • Check out the northern most monument of the Antietam Battlefield before exploring the grounds of the Poffenberger Farm. The Dennis Frye shows us some new artillery that was recently placed by the National Park Service.
    Frye is a retired Park Ranger and is a Co-Founder of the American Battlefield Trust. Garry Adelman is the Chief Historian at the American Battlefield Trust.
    This video is part of our battlefield tour series commemorating the 159th Anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. You can view the whole playlist here: • Unknown Antietam: 159t...
    The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

      @@amandadaniel9598 Doing ok. I loved this video. I am a writer-wannabe, and part of one book takes place at the Battle of Antietam. The main character was raised on the farm, so in his dreams on the night of September 16/17, he thinks himself back at home from the smells and sights of the farm. He arises early, as did the First Corps as they prepared for battle.
      One of the things you miss in the video...is smell. The traditional smells of animals, fields, but also human waste and horse manure. Thinking about that (if you have experienced it) as you watch the video will help bring history to life.

    Great video! I'll be there tomorrow. this is my favorite CW batllefield and the Rangers and Volunteers at Antietam are top notch. I was fortunate to be part of a tour led by Gary 2 years ago, and it was so interesting and informative, assisting me with my research and my work making videos to map unit movements and locations. I cannot thank the ABT and NPS enough for preserving our history.
