The dunk tank was sitting next to the school where we play basketball, so I got Alissa to pose. Too bad there was no water. ;)
Yes, that's me in a freezing cold dunk tank for my son and daughter's daycare.
They needed a parent, and they figured the kids would want to dunk me (and the teachers wanted to as well).
Couldn't feel my fingers for an hour afterward. Still, a great success.
We got back on I-68 and continued to Hancock where we took I-70 eastbound. Near Hagerstown, we exited onto SR-65 southward to Antietam National Battlefield.
The Dunker Church is one of the most noted landmarks at Antietam National Battlefield and ranks as perhaps one of the most famous churches in American military history. This historic structure began as a humble country house of worship constructed by local Dunker farmers in 1852. Samuel Mumma, owner of the nearby farm that bears his name, donated land in 1851 for the Dunkers to build their church. During its early history, the congregation consisted of about half a dozen farm families from the local area. During the battle of Antietam, the church was the focal point of a number of Union attacks against the Confederate left flank. Dunker Church was scarred with hundreds of marks from bullets in its white washed walls. Artillery had rendered serious damage to the roof and walls. By 1864, the Church was repaired, rededicated and regular services were held there until the turn of the century.
In 1921 a violent storm swept through the area and flattened the church. The land and church ruins were put up for sale and purchased by Sharpsburg resident Elmer G. Boyer. He salvaged most of the undamaged material of the building and then sold the property. The new property owner built a home on the foundation of the old church and in the 1930s operated a gas station and souvenir shop on the site. This structure was removed in 1951 when the property was purchased by the Washington County Historical Society. They donated the site, then just a foundation, to the National Park Service. The Church was restored by 1962 for the 100th Anniversary of the Battle. On its original foundation with as much original materials as possible, the church now stands as a beacon of peace on the battlefield.
