Join Civil War author and adventurer John Banks at 2pm on April 16th at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine for “Faces of Antietam” as he provides snapshots of some of the men and women who witnessed the bloodiest day in American history and its aftermath. He also will spotlight a local historian as well as a man whose ancestor was rocked by the events of Sept. 17, 1862. Banks, a board member of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation, is author of three Civil War books—including A Civil War Road Trip Of A Lifetime, coming late spring.

Reminder! SHAF Annual Meeting

The SHAF Annual Membership Meeting is this Saturday April 1st, (no fooling!) starting at 10:00 am at the Mumma Barn on Antietam National Battlefield. Parking on the grass around the barn is available. After the meeting we will conduct a tour of the War Wounds house for those interested, although we may need to divide into small groups to do so.

The next SHAF Work Day, scheduled for Saturday, March 11, 2023, is still on. Meet at the grass overflow parking lot at the Antietam Visitor Center at 9:00 a.m. Bring water, gloves, hand tools (no chain saws), and dress for the weather. We will work until about 1:00 p.m. and will be clearing cedar and juniper trees out of the East Woods.
