TOLSON'S CHAPEL: A MONUMENT TO PERSEVERANCE

For the final stop, Redding heads to Sharpsburg to visit with Edie Wallace of the Tolson's Chapel museum, who helped to oversee the rehabilitation of the former Freedman's Bureau school and church. It is here, in her words, that the "rest of the story" of Antietam unfolds.

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.
