Overview

Discover the history of the Battle of Antietam on a guided tour from Washington, DC. Learn about the bloodiest single-day battle in US history and see the Cornfield, Sunken Road, and Burnside Bridge.

Get picked up in a luxury vehicle anywhere in the DC/Metro region and sit back and relax as you are taken to Antietam, the battlefield where 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing after twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led Abraham Lincoln to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. This tour includes an introduction to the Maryland Campaign at the Visitors Centre as well as stops at the Cornfield, Sunken Road, and Burnside Bridge. It is designed for individuals or groups seeking general knowledge of the battle and the battlefield. Your guide will be a historian dedicated to providing outstanding interpretive tours of the Antietam Battlefield

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

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
