I've toured the Antietam Battlefield several times so when we were in Sharpsburg recently, we skipped most of the sites. However, I did go into the Visitors Center to buy a book and my very own Senior Pass for our National Parks. Frank has had one since our visit to Yorktown in 2007 but I figured it was a good idea to buy my own. Like we see in many Civil War sites, the landscape today is serene and pretty, in striking contrast to the way it would have been after the battle. Antietam is known for the tragically high number of casualties in a single day, September 12, 1862.
