Heading to Sharpsburg

I live in Maryland, just a few miles from Sharpsburg, site of Antietam National Battlefield Park. My friend Jeff Quinton, of the Inside Charm City blog, is visiting me this afternoon and, since we're both history buffs, we're going to visit the battlefield.

If there's time, we'll also visit the site of the Battle of South Mountain, east of Boonsboro on the Old National Road, and perhaps also Monocacy National Battlefield.
