One of the goals for the Antietam Battlefield Guide Association is to provide the best possible interpretation of the Battle of Antietam for our customers and followers. The creation of this new website/blog for the Antietam Battlefield Guides is a major part of that, as this is designed to be more interactive with you.
In keeping with this new theme of having an interactive website, we will be introducing periodic polls in our posts, asking for your opinion! These polls will cover many different topics, ranging from asking you what you find interesting about Antietam to which part of the battlefield you want to learn more about. In the future, we may even advertise specialty tours and programs by asking your opinion on what types of programs you would like to see us offer. Stay tuned for updates, information, and polls, as we try to offer the best possible tours and interpretation to those who want to learn more about the crucial Battle of Antietam and the Maryland Campaign of 1862.
For our first poll, we want to know how YOU plan to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam this year.
So, what are your plans? We want to hear YOUR opinion!
Welcome to the official site for the Antietam Battlefield Guide Association. The Antietam Guides are a group of historians dedicated to providing outstanding interpretive tours of the Antietam Battlefield, as well as other sites related to the Maryland Campaign of 1862. The Antietam Guides are booked through the Antietam National Battlefield Museum Store. This site offers a listing of our battlefield guides, as well as updates about our programs, what our guides are up to, and information about Antietam National Battlefield. We hope to see you at the park soon!

During the 150th anniversary battlefield hikes I personally would like to visit the Grove Farm where Lincoln was photographed with McClellan in October ’62. I know this is very private property. Any chances of this happening? Thanks!
Barry, as the Grove Farm is private property, we don’t know of any plans to take groups there this upcoming September. Of course, you can view the house from Route 34, as there is a wayside marker along the road. Thanks for visiting our webpage!
