Antietam National Cemetery - Activities

Home > Antietam Cemetery > Planning > Activities

The Cemetery adjoins the Battlefied and information about it can best be obtained at the Park Visitor Center. 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 also 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 either by rangers or costumed interpreters. Check at the Visitor Center for a daily schedule.
