New York Outskirts Tour I Step into Antietam National Battlefield

After watching documentaries and movies about the American Civil War, I plan to start checking in from the national parks in PA, MD, VA, because they are related to the Civil War, there will be more battlefields to visit. The way of touring is a bit like the national parks in the West, where you can drive along the tour route. Each stop also has a trail for walking. The first stop can be to the visitor center to get a park map, follow the recommended route for a tour, and the map will also have graphic introductions for each stop ✨Antietam National Battlefield✨ 🕙Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday 09:00-17:00 💰Ticket Price: Tickets are $20, and the annual national park pass allows free entry 🔖Stamp Collection: You can get a stamp at the souvenir shop in the visitor center, and there is currently a special anniversary stamp This is the first national park I visited in the East Coast that offers a drive-through tour, which is very suitable for the cold winter weather. You don't have to walk in the wind and can still visit carefully. The Battle of Antietam is the deadliest day in American history, which took place on September 17, 1862. You can first go to the visitor center to watch videos and introductions, get a stamp at the souvenir shop, and the visitor center is on a small hill, overlooking the surroundings The battlefield park is quite large, and it takes about 2 hours to complete the tour by car. Starting from the visitor center, follow the signs forward, and you can turn on audio guidance. Along the way, there are monuments and introductions to see. From the farmhouse church, passing through forests and cornfields, you will reach Bloody Lane with its observation tower. Fences are installed along the road, restoring the wartime scene. Further down, you can drive to Lower Bridge, where you can walk along the trail across the river
