Park Visitor Center Closes for Rehabilitation Later This Year

The Antietam National Battlefield Visitor Center opened to the public in the winter of 1963. During the summer of 2021 the park will close the visitor center for a much needed rehabilitation. We expect to close mid summer of 2021. The project is expected to last until the Spring of 2023. During the construction there will be a temporary visitor center installed. The temporary visitor center will have a small exhibit area, visitor information/fee collection area, bookstore, and restrooms.
