On June 7 and 28 we have the incredible 90 minute Soldiers' Passageway Tour that follows the footsteps of retreating soldiers who left a trail of graves from Sharpsburg all the way to the Potomac. Don't worry, we're only going a few blocks. We'll visit the scene of a large plot of field graves and tell the stories of a drummer boy who came to Sharpsburg but never went home. We'll stop by a former house of Sharpsburg, now an Inn, that has been haunted since a murder that took place there on July 4 1864. We'll show a place that where artillerists are often seen moving their broken pieces through the streets. Finally, we'll return to Captain Bender's to hear a story of a black dog that haunts the Antietam National Cemetery.
On June 14 we have the Graveyards, Cemeteries and Soldiers Tour. This one visits a place where many soldiers were killed by a single Union artillery blast, then passes by an old cemetery where strange voices beckon passers by in an unrecognizable language, next shares the story of a soldier riding a white horse and visiting disobedient children, and finally returns to Captain Benders for the story of the Black Dog.
