Postponed – Antietam Battlefield Guide: Stories from Meade’s Division at Antietam

Hear about the extraordinary experience of Union General Meade’s Division at the Battle of Antietam.

This event has been postponed, and will be rescheduled for a later date to be determined.

At the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on a date to be determined, Antietam Battlefield Guide Joseph W. Stahl will discuss the role played by Union General George Meade’s Division at the Battle of Antietam.

Brigadier General George Meade’s Pennsylvania Reserve division were among the first units engaged at the Battle of Antietam. Meade’s men were heavily involved in fighting in and around the infamous Cornfield, and suffered heavy casualties as a result.

Don’t miss the chance to hear about Meade’s Division just a few miles from where they fought.
