Antietam Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland is one of America’s most iconic battlefields. Here, Union and Confederate troops clashed in what became one of the bloodiest single days in American history; 23,000 men either died or were wounded on that fateful day alone. Many buildings still stand on this field today and some may even be haunted by unsettled ghosts.
Visitors to the park can take part in ranger-guided car caravan tours or walk the battleground trails, as well as living history programs including weapon firing demonstrations.
Other highlights at the park include the Cemetery of Death and Pry House, both said to be haunted by soldiers who perished during battles. Visitors can also view Sunken Lane Tower – both blessing and curse in one.
