Revisiting The Epicenter of the Battle of Antietam: Unknown Antietam 159

One of the largest and most important preservation victories for the American Battlefield Trust occurred in 2015, when we acquired 44 acres of absolutely sacred and hallowed ground at the intersection of Dunker Church Road and Cornfield Avenue. Join Garry Adelman, Kris White, Bryan Cheeseboro, Tom Clemens and President of the Trust David Duncan for an overview of the action across this field on September 17, 1862. This video is part of our battlefield tour series commemorating the 159th Anniversary of the Battle of Antietam.
