Description
1852 Dunker Church Antietam Battlefield
One of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War was fought at Antietam and a large portion of it was fought in front of and around the Dunker Church. The Dunker Church is one of the most notable landmarks on the Antietam battlefield as well as in military history. The church was the focal point of numerous Union attacks against the Confederates and the church was heavily battle scarred with hundreds of bullet impacts. Artillery also caused serious damage to the roof and wall of this historic structure. The Church was repaired and rededicated by 1864 with regular religious service until the turn of the century.
