The Battle of Antietam is known as the bloodiest day in America’s military history. That means that the Antietam National Battlefield is an important landmark worth exploring. The best way to visit the large battlefield is to start at the Visitor Center. From there, there’s a nearly nine-mile route complete with audio tour. For the serious Civil War enthusiast, this can’t be beat. You can also visit the Pry House Field Hospital Museum, which boasts fantastic exhibits showing the scope of what doctors and nurses coped with during the battle. Finally, you can appreciate the landscape and the natural beauty of the area by hiking along the Antietam Remembered or Union Advance Trails.
