Battlefield Podcast Now Available for the Cornfield Trail

Working with our partner, Civil War Traveler, Antietam National Battlefield has developed a new Cornfield Trail Podcast. Podcasts are audio files that can be downloaded onto an iPod or mp3 player, then taken to the battlefield for a 60-90 minute, 1.6 mile walking tour.

The podcasts are located on our partner's website. There you will find detailed instructions and a battlefield map to accompany the audio tour. Your tour guide for the Cornfield is Park Ranger Keith Snyder. This tour has not been scripted. You are listening to real time interpretation on the battlefield.
