[civilman1]

The other day at the Antietam farm I saw an old guy riding his horse along the fence line out for his daily drive....Found out who the owner's were and finally caught up with them today....Told them who I was and what I was about and they said no problem....just don't trash the place....Full access anywhere!!!!Awesome lookin' place,check it out!!....

This first pic is the sign at the end of the lane...

The house were Gen. Mansfield died from a chunk of lead from the South...

Here's a couple pic's of the barn...Look's real interesting...


These last two pic's are where the Union Army stayed the night before the Bloody Battle....First one is where Mansfield's 12th Corps. was at.....Second look's toward's Greene's Div.

Thank's for lookin'......Gonna get a couple fellow TNer's to help me out on this one!!!!

WOW that spot looks awesome,doubt many hunters have been there before you either. Thanks for sharing some of the history about that spot. I have the area bookmarked in google earth from one of your earlier posts and Ill try and drag up some battlefield maps to try and figure out the area you will be hunting good luck

Not a problem shoot....I hunt(deer too) the adjoining farm too....probably a total of 300+ acre's....until I started researchin' the other farm I didn't know these guy's were there the night before....

 

[Postalrevnant]

Good luck on that site. Certainly looks like some great potential there.

Went up to the Line Farm today....after doing a little research this morning found out it was a field hospital not to mention a staging area.....According to the map's I found Mansfield's 12th Corp's was bivouaced to the left of the barn...Too bad they didn't have GPS back then.....This is what's there now



Went to the outskirt's of the corn and ended up with this......Small little area yielded all this plus some stuff I threw away...Half of this is broken farm implement's from way back.....Still keep's me going though....kinda funny about huntin' near the house....In time I guess...Kinda like my adjoining farm better,closer to the action.....The crop's need to go!!!!!

Thats awesome Man congrats!!! I wish i could get permission like that!!Antietam is like a dream!!I have a hard time getting permission here in southern maryland...for some reason people look down on our hobby down here....I think there have been issues(like people tearing up places and having no permission...had the door slammed in my face many a time...)so people around here are very weary....So i cherish everytime i get some permission...Well good luck to you, and sure wish i was in your shoes!!

PS. If you ever want some company up there let me know
