Antietam

Monument in Antietam

Antietam is definetly not for tweens and teens who are not into history.  For those of you who don't know, Antietam was the bloodiest battle in the Civil War. It's located in Maryland near Sharpsburg. There's even an old farm lane that is called "Boody Lane" because of all the soldiers that died on that lane. The cornfield where a lot of fighting occurred was pretty spooky too. I really liked Burnside Bridge. It was a bridge that the Confederates and the Union fought over and on. There is a big tree next to it that "witnessed" the battle. I have to say I thought the rest was boring because you were just looking at fields, Wow. Parents I would advise you not to take your kids there if they're not history fans. If you do, bring a hat and some bug spray because it is very buggy. I give it 2 stars.
