Antietam National Battlefield

---

Audiovisual Program: "Antietam Visit," an award-winning film, is shown on the hour. This 26-minute movie recreates the battle as well as President Abraham Lincoln's visit to the Union commander General George B. McClellan. Every day at 12:00 noon a new one hour documentary about the battle of Antietam narrated by James Earl Jones is shown in the visitor center theater. Tours: The best way to view the battlefield is to take the self-guided driving tour. The tour road is 8½ miles long with 11 stops. Most visitors drive the route, but walking and biking are encouraged. Audiotape tours, which enhance the self-guided tour, may be purchased or rented from the bookstore. Interpretive Programs: During the summer season scheduled talks are conducted daily by park rangers. Check at the Visitor Center for a daily schedule.
