Due to a schedule conflict the SHAF Annual Membership Meeting will be on Saturday April 1 (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.
And don’t forget our Spring Work Day at Antietam on March 11 at 9:00 a.m. at the Visitor Center Overflow Parking lot.
The next SHAF Work Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 11, 2023. 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. In case of bad weather, we will postpone. Watch our Facebook page and website, www.shaf.org for a postponement notice. We will work until about 1:00 p.m.
Please mark on your calendars, the 2023 Annual SHAF Membership Meeting is scheduled for April 22, details to follow.

The Jacob Rohrbach Inn’s raffle at its annual Civil War Lecture Series raised $605 for the Save Historic Antietam Foundation. Thanks to the Jacob Rohrbach Inn for their generous donation and their efforts to educate the public about Antietam’s history through their lecture series.
