Overview

Step back in time on a private journey to Antietam, site of the bloodiest single day in American history. Travel in comfort from the DC area with a professional historian guide and discover where 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing during the pivotal Battle of Antietam. Explore the Visitor Centre, then walk the hallowed grounds of the Cornfield, Sunken Road (Bloody Lane), and Burnside Bridge—each etched with stories of courage and sacrifice. Learn how this Union victory ended Lee’s first invasion of the North and inspired Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. This immersive 7-hour experience is fully private, customisable, and perfect for history enthusiasts seeking an in-depth look at a turning point of the Civil War.

The Cornfield Stop: This 24-acre cornfield, owned by D.R. Miller, saw some of US history's most horrific fight­ing. For nearly three hours, Hooker and Mansfield's Union forces battled Jackson's Confederates. Many regiments on both sides were cut to pieces. Hays' Louisiana Brigade suffered over 60-percent casual­ties in 30 minutes.

Sunken Road Stop: This farm lane served as a breastwork for the Con­federate centre. For about three hours 2,200 Confederates, later reinforced by ad­ditional troops, held off the attacks of a combined Union force numbering nearly 10,000. Finally, just after noon, this thin grey line collapsed and fell back several hundred yards to the Piper Farm. The Union attackers had suffered too many casualties to pursue their advantage.

Burnside's Bridge

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
About 500 Confederate soldiers held the area overlooking the Lower Bridge for three hours. Burnside's command finally cap­tured the bridge and crossed Antietam Creek, which forced the Confederates back towards Sharpsburg. A Crucial Crossing, a General's Namesake, a Battlefield Icon
