THE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN: THE DUNKERS

As America confronts the history and legacy of its Civil War, Preservation Maryland Executive Director Nicholas Redding recently visited the Antietam Battlefield, located in Sharpsburg, Maryland, to chronicle just a few of the site's untold stories and unique layers of history.

In this short introduction to the layers of history at the Antietam Battlefield, viewers will explore the power of Antietam's full story and the value of a preserved landscape.

In this short video, Redding speaks briefly with acclaimed Civil War historian and author Dennis Frye, about the Church of the Brethren, better known as Dunkers, and the legacy of their simple white meeting house on the battlefield.
