Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

We visited this battlefield during a weekend. Even though the recently built Visitor Center removed its artifacts temporarily due to a leak, this is still worth spending some time in to get a better understanding and appreciation of how the battle on Sept 17, 1862 unfolded. There is a theatre where you can watch a 1/2 movie about the battle, a historic exhibit area (where the artifacts have been removed) and a gift shop.
For the price of $20 (for your car), we each received a map of the area and since my spouse was over the age of 62, he also got a national park pass, good for a year, that allows him (and up to 3 guests) entry to any national park without having to pay an entrance fee.
We spent a few hours hiking on the Bloody Lane Trail to visit the Sunken Road (AKA Bloody Lane) and then up past Roulette Farmhouse, and past the Mumma farmhouse, and down Smoketown Road to visit Dunker Church, where we encountered a volunteer docent who happily educated us more about the battlefield. Fun fact: the church is not the same one appearing in Civil War photos but was re-built in the same spot in the early 20th century, using the same materials from the original church. The front steps of the church are the same steps from the original church.
We drove down to visit Burnside Bridge. Due to the park service's landscape restoration efforts, looking around this area, you can imagine the terrain and vegetation that the troops saw back then. The sycamore tree beside the bridge that appears in Civil War-era photos and sketches still stands.

Antietam Battlefield was impressive. $20/car to get in . You can watch a video, listen to a guide talk, then head out into your car with a map to drive the route of these hallowed grounds. There are a lot of impressive statues memorializing the soldiers from each state that died in battle at Antietam. Check out Bloody Lane. Walk around an old cemetery. Picture the Union soldiers coming out of the cornfields while the confederate soldiers waited in the gullies. There are a lot of little trails you can venture down. We spent close to 4 hours here. We probably would’ve ventured down more trails, but it was 95+ out. Definitely a day well spent.

Huge national park so give yourself at least a full day to do the visitors’ center with museum, film, ranger talk, and exhibits. There is also a driving tour with 10 stops. The battlefield is now serene after horrific bloodshed on both sides.

Went on the driving tour, about 2 1/2 hours. National Park staff and local volunteers situated at several important sites within the park provided 10 minute lectures about the battle and goings on. Very knowledgeable folks and very happy to share their knowledge. Highly recommend a visit.

Our first battlefield visit on this road trip... we walked part of the NPS app audio self-tour, saw the film in the visitor center, listened to park ranger presentations and drove the rest of the tour route. It took us a while to figure out the tour route, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery as we learned about this important battle in the Civil War.

At the visitors centre you watch a 30 minute film on the battle and the self-guided driving tour was informative and well laid out.

Antietam was a very sobering experience. To be in the exact location where so many men lost their lives was a very powerful overwhelming feeling. The visitor center has an excellent movie explaining this bloody battle that should be watched before venturing out on the driving tour. There is also an exhibition in the visitor center which is well worth your time. The grounds of Antietam are now beautiful green rolling hills and cornfields, but the history of this land is very impactful.

We viewed the 1/2 hour film and checked out the displays inside. All were very interesting and well put together, making it easy to understand. We had limited time during our visit, so did a quick driving tour through the site itself.

Just visited the Antietam National Park in Sharpsburg, Maryland and was definitely impressed with the history of the battle.
It is a visit that I believe every American should make at some point in their life. To think that almost 23,000 Americans were either killed or wounded, in one day, fighting amongst each other, is unbelievable!
The National Park Service has absolutely done a phenomenal job with the driving, self guided tour.
They provide you with a map, at the main museum entrance, that guides you throughout the different battle fields. Each stop provides parking and on site photos and explanations of that particular event.
As you travel throughout the park, you will observe nothing but beauty in the landscape, which consists of rolling hills and mountains in the background. Sad to believe that such a peaceful venue was used to generate so much death and human destruction.
A definite visit if thinking about it.

This is a must do. I am amazed by how much information there is on the driving tour. We hit up many spots and stopped and walked Bloody Lane. It is amazing thinking about the history of the battlefield and how many men gave their lives in the exact location you were. There is a small museum which is very well done and super informational. It's a typical national park so there is a fee but well worth it.

If the artifacts have been taken out of Visitors Center, what is left to see?
Skrevet 15. juli 2024
I understand there is an audio tour, but I can find no mention of cost. Also, do you have to buy or is there an opportunity to rent?
Skrevet 2. mai 2020
There's a downloadable map and phone app but we found it very confusing. Shiloh has a CD you can buy/rent that tells you "Turn left and you'll see the Minnesota Monument on your right in 75 yards", stuff like that. It was excellent and we'll be back one day to do that one start to finish. We saw or could find no such thing at Antietam.

While driving through the Antietam battlefield luminary, is there audio that you listen to while driving through?
Skrevet 4. desember 2019
I am sure that the visitor's center has an audio driving tour for purchase but such is not needed for touring the battlefield while the luminaries are on display. The luminaries themselves tell the story. As you begin the tour, the luminaries are fewer in number and fairly well spread out. As you continue, the number of luminaries increase and are much closer together until they literally fill the landscape. This symbolizes the men who lost their lives during this bloodiest of battles. The drive is incredibly moving - and definitely worth the trip. (Note: if you have not been to Antietam before, you might want to arrive earlier in the day for a driving or walking tour. The luminary tour is at night - too dark to distinguish many of the more noted sites)

Are there any picnic tables at the Visitor Center or along the auto-tour?
Skrevet 16. juli 2019
I did not see picnic tables anywhere in the park, though I wasn't specifically looking for them.
Skrevet 16. juli 2019
I'll be driving past the Battlefield but will only have about 10 mins to stop. I was wondering if you need to pay to visit the Visitor Centre?
Skrevet 24. juni 2019
It was $15/car when we went, but for 10 minutes I doubt you'd need to pay-- it took that long for us to walk in, stand in line at the front desk and pay.

Bringing small children and my older parents. What should we focus on that will be intetesting for my parents as well as the attention span of preschoolers? Looking to spend no more than two hours..
Skrevet 16. november 2017
The visitor centre is a great place to start with the displays and the film. Don’t feel there is truly anything for preschoolers per se part from the fields outdoors for them to romp over. Antitam is hallowed ground and to recollect the events that transpired there is overwhelming to say the least.
Skrevet 16. november 2017
Is there a way to do a tour without a car? I am not confident driving on the 'other' side of the road, so would be happy to organise and pay for a tour guide and car if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated?
Skrevet 25. april 2017
The battlefield is very expansive and you do need a car. If you go to the battlefield Welcome Center you can arrange for a guide and state that you need one with a vehicle. I find this is the best way to learn about the battle, you drive to then walk the ground in different areas. It's usually around $25 to $30 an hour. We usually do a 2 to 3 hour tour with the guide. You get one to one information answers to specific areas your interested in. All Battlefields have these guides available. You're not too far from Gettysburg and if you have time a few days I'd do both. They are pivotal battlegrounds in the civil war. If you do Antietam you should take a drive over to Harpers Ferry as well. The guide we had offered it as part of the plan for the day but we went in our own. Hope this helps

How much time should I allot to visit this place?
Skrevet 31. januar 2017
Give an hour to look at the Visitors Centre and ideally listen to a Park Ranger and watch the films. Doing all of the above will take longer - perhaps 2 hours - but you can play by ear. I would then allocate 2 hours to drive around the battlefield stopping at the Corn Field, the watch tower and Burnside bridge. Again you can go as far or as slow as you want. The weather may also play a factor.
