ROULETTE FARM

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.

Redding walks up the farm lane from the Mumma Farm to the Roulette Farm, standing at the center of what would become the battlefield itself. Here again, slavery, freedom, and conflict are rooted in the preserved landscape.
