he words “Battle of Antietam” conjure images of a sunup to sundown vicious battle between Union and Confederate soldiers, massive casualties, ruined properties and lives, heroic medical efforts, and the lingering smell of death. September 17, 1862 will forever be remembered by its 23,110 dead, wounded or missing soldiers. The stories of that single day in the Civil War, however, include many more facets that the tally of woe, which can be discovered at the Antietam National Battlefield any day, but especially on September 17, 2016. As part of the National Park Service Centennial celebration “Find Your Park,” there will be special programs throughout the day that include battlefield hikes, and living history firing demonstrations. www.nps.gov/anti/ At the Newcomer House on the battlefield (18422 Shepherdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD), Clarence Hickey will share his portrayal of www.vall ey rev ue .co m
Dr. Edward Stonestreet, Civil War surgeon. The lectures at 11:30 and 2:30 will bring to life 19th century medical techniques, with demonstrations of Civil War anesthesia instruments and removing a bullet. Dr. Stonestreet will discuss transportation of the wounded, pain management and pre-op, operative, and postop care. Your journey can continue at the nearby Pry House Field Hospital and Museum (18906 Shepherdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD) where you will learn more about medical practices during the war and find out if Pry House was really the headquarters of General George McClelland. Knowledgeable volunteers at Newcomer House will be pleased to point you to the hundreds of interesting places you can visit in the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area.

he warm mineral waters of Berkeley Springs have drawn visitors over the centuries from Native Americans to colonial notables like George Washington to today's travelers looking for stress relief and a quirky respite from daily routine. The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers. Wander charming and peaceful streets in the National Historic District within the 1776 town boundaries around the springs and indulge in all the pleasures of a nationally recognized art town from distinctive shops, galleries and antique malls to fine dining restaurants. Whether you are captivated by the vintage movie house or the Victorian castle on a hill overlooking the town or the Sunday Farmers Market, there is no mistaking Berkeley Springs for someplace else.
