id-Maryland in September is one of the most beautiful places on earth. For travelers who like history, Maryland’s Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area in September is the perfect destination. This year, in addition to battlefield hikes and interpretive programs commemorating the 153rd anniversaries of the Battles of South Mountain and Antietam, and the typical array of tours, exhibitions and classes, two innovative dramatic experiences are worth checking out: “Peleg Bradford – One Man’s Story” and “A Step Back in Time.” “Peleg Bradford – One Man’s Story” is a special, after hours, living history tour at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick on Friday, September 4, 2015. Guests will follow the Peleg odyssey of Bradford Private Peleg Bradford of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery, a regiment that suffered one of the highest casualty rates of any in the Civil War. Based on Peleg’s actual letters home during two years of service, the tour will “march” from the enlistment of fresh recruits to the drudgeries of camp life and garrison duties in the fortifications of wartime Washington, DC. Tales of combat, the agonies of endemic disease, injuries, www. va l leyrev ue . co m

and the difficulties veteran soldiers faced in returning to civilian life, will come to life. The evening includes refreshments and conversation with museum staff and volunteers. For details and tour reservation, call (301) 6951864. Tickets are $15 per person. Another “Step Back in Time” is the Historical Society of Carroll County’s walking tour by that name, slated for Saturday, September 26. Written by McDaniel College Theater students, the scene is set on July 5, 1863, and tour-goers will meet several of Westminster’s residents in the aftermath of Corbit’s Charge and the Battle of Gettysburg. After the tour, participants are welcome to enjoy an outdoor reception to meet re-enactors and enjoy Civil War music by John DuRant. Several timed tours will be offered in the afternoon and evening. Tickets are $5 ($3 for seniors). For details call (401) 848-6494. To plan your next visit, a complete calendar of events is available at www.heartofthecivilwar.org. SEP TEMB ER 2015
