Good visitors center, provides maps of the field with helpful explanations. You can take your car through the battle, stop at numerous points along th way and see how the battle evolved.

I visited Antietam in January with my aunt and uncle who were visiting from out of town. They didn't know much about Civil War history, but it was a beautiful clear (cold) day and we were all in the mood for exploring. Antietam is a nice drive from DC and we had a fantastic day. The rangers in the visitor's center were very helpful and we all enjoyed the orientation film and exhibits. They helped orient us to the details of the Battle of Antietam. We then spent a few hours exploring with the self-guided auto tour, which I highly recommend because we could take it all in at our own pace. We learned a lot about one of our nation's most horrific battles, but we also appreciated the clear, beautiful countryside. I am glad this land is preserved for everyone.

The Antietam Battlefield is well worth seeing and remembering. Too many Ameticans were killed in the battle. As a result of this battle Zpresident Lincoln issue the Declaration of Proclamation. The first step in ending slavery in the US. Visiting the battlefield can create personal emotions. This is a good thing.

Great battlefield. Very nice and still pretty much as it was then. Several of the sites on the field are of the better known sites of the civil war, the bloody lane, burnside bridge.

See the observation tower, the sunken road, Burnside Bridge, Middle bridge, the visitor center, Dunker Church, the cornfield. We walked much of this battle field. It was amazing. The scenery is beautiful. We had a picnic lunch at the Sherrick Farmhouse. The memorials were very nicely presented. This is a must see on the Civil War Trail.

15mins out of Boonsboro, never heard of the Antietam battlefields. I've heard of Gettysburg, Richmond, but never of Antietam. what an amazing battlefield, what amazing history, beautifully set out, excellent excellent museum staff. from the beginning of the day's fighting to the end of the day, 23000 dead or wounded.but seeing it in February at -3°C mmmmmmmmmm but still a great walk around, loved the museum
-
While here be sure to climb the steps on the observation tower and walk along the sunken road. It's a little bit of a walk but seeing the bridge is worth it.

This was an overwhelming experience. Taking the tour and seeing the battlefield first hand was humbling. Love this place and have earned a new respect for this battle and the war in general thanks to Antietam.

Over the years, Mrs. Too and Ben have visited dozens of sites made noble by struggles during the War Between the States, as well as both wars against the British Empire. She is not so much a fan of military history, but enjoys these visits more for the dwellings and furnishings, whereas Ben relishes the pure history of the battles themselves.Ben had toured the Antietam battlefield before, but she had not, so on our way back from a road trip to Ohio, we stopped here. The National Park Service has made many, many evolving enhancements to this attraction, with the result that it is perhaps the finest representation of its kind anywhere in the country. We spent the better part of a day, taking advantage of all of the features provided by NPS and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Interestingly, as we went on our way home, both of us remarked that the most pervasive and lasting part of our visit was the devastation and horror inflicted upon the citizenry of this peaceful, prosperous little corner of Maryland. Crops, flocks, and herds utterly destroyed, an entire year of tilling, sowing, cultivating and growing were demolished, as homes and places of worship were perforce converted for the care of the maimed bodies of so many brave young men in any uniform. One must wonder just how long it would have taken for the shattered peace of their homes to be restored, even whether it ever was in their lifetimes.In preparation for a visit, or even a revisit here, there are many websites providing a wealth of information about this stirring experience. Do run through some of them, especially if your home is far enough away to prevent the four or five trips to tour and learn which a thorough grasp of the campaign requires.

Every Civil War and History Buff needs to visit this site. It is the home of the single bloodiest day of the Civil War. There are several ways to tour the Battlefield that should suit everyone's preferences. I purchased the CD package and we did the self guided tour. The town of Sharpsburg has several eateries, but not great variety. To me the biggest asset was the lack of commercialism and the beautiful countryside around the site. Spend extra time at the cornfield and the sunken road. If you are a Ghost Hunter these places can give you a very strange feeling.
