Overview

Take the rural road from White’s Ferry to Sharpsburg on the road name for the Battle of Antietam, a key turning point for the Civil War. Stop at the Antietam National Battlefield for a photo op at the picturesque Burnside Bridge and experience the area as the Confederate soldiers once did when they crossed the Potomac River and clashed with Union Forces near Sharpsburg.
