Antietam National Battlefield in Washington County, Maryland
Antietam National Battlefield is seen in Sharpsburg, Md., on Nov. 5, 2017. The battle of Antietam was one of five Civil War battlefields that in the 1890s came under the administration of the War Department as a park. Almost a century later, the prospect of encroaching development led to a series of public-private partnerships that today extend preservation beyond the battlefield to the surrounding viewscape. Those efforts allow visitors to maintain a strong sense of what Antietam felt like on September 17, 1862, when well over 100,000 soldiers fought at relatively close range in a stalemate that gave President Lincoln enough of a Union victory to issue his Emancipation Proclamation.
