Dunker Church

Antietam Battlefield. Sharpsburg, MD. Early evening.

 

The Dunker Church was built by a small community of German pacifists in 1852, upon whose farms the Battle of Antietam was fought. It was leveled by a storm in 1921 and rebuilt in 1962.

 

The church overlooked the bloody fighting in the Miller cornfield and the North and West Woods during the first phase of the battle.
