In Episode 59, Antietam Institute executive director Chris Vincent takes co-hosts John Banks and Tom McMillan on a tour (virtually) of Antietam farmsteads — from the Poffenbergers’ to the John Otto farmhouse — and shares details about the upcoming Antietam Institute spring symposium. 

This podcast is sponsored by the Michigan Civil War Association and Civil War Trails, which since 1994 has connected visitors with small towns and big stories across a network that now spans six states.

Join McMillan and Banks for regular podcasts about Antietam, the Maryland Campaign and the Civil War — the most compelling period in American history.

McMillan is author of The Year That Made America: From Rebellion to Independence and four other books. Banks is author of A Civil War Road Trip Of A Lifetime and numerous magazine articles about the Civil War. Find them on Facebook at Author Tom McMillan and John Banks' Civil War Blog.
