33) Antietam

Visited: Sunday, February 20th, 2011

Deja vu. Driving up to the visitor center, I _remembered_ it, very viscerally; I _think_ this might have been where I got my copy of A House Divided. The visitor's center is nice - though honestly the bookstore isn't up to that in many of the national parks. But what really makes Antietam is the driving tour - it's hard to imagine the number of people killed there in but a single day, but it's easy to picture the progress of the battle over the day, and easy to understand how the landscape effected the choices made.
