After first reading about the Battle of Antietam way back in 1985 as a mere 10 y/o lad, it was so great to finally see it up close and personal. Sorry I’m 3 weeks late with posting these, but anyway, here are the pics from my trip to Antietam Battlefield on the last weekend of August. I had an amazing tour guide by the name of Justin Mayhue, a retired Fire Chief who personally knows/knew American Civil War authors such as Perry Jamieson (author of “Attack and Die”) and the late Joseph L. Harsh (“Taken at the Flood”). Justin has an incredible wealth of knowledge!

Former lookout during the Civil War and the War of 1812 is now a scenic park overlooking the Inner Harbor.
Reviewed By 703BillB703 - Bel Air, United States
Historic Federal Hill offers the best view of the Inner Harbor and even close ups of unique places like the Visionary Arts Musuem. There is a large fences play area for children and families as well as plenty if benches overviewibg the city. One appreciates why the spot was lookout for ships both commercial and was in the early years of Baltimore and the USA. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful this autumn season. Two monuments and two plaques provide historical information, otherwise it's a do-it-yourself tour. Street parking was available. Definitely worth a walk through the narrow streets of the Federal Hill community.

Went to a show at the Weinberg Center which was a comedy show that was awesome. Before the show we walked Market St. and di some shopping and stopped into Wags, a local bar and restaurant that makes great burgers, soup, fries, etc. Downtown Frederick has adequate parking and a lot of good restaurants and shops that you can walk to. Carroll Creek is also worth visiting. It's all well worth a visit.
