SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series: “Little-Known Antietam: Henry Winters and Murder at the Lodge” – Tom McMillan
DESCRIPTION:On July 21\, author Tom McMillan will present – “Little-Know Antietam: Henry Winters and ‘Mystery and Murder at the Lodge.‘” Tom will take a look at two of the intriguing but lesser-known stories at Antietam. Henry Winters of the 89th New York Infantry carved his name on a windowsill at the Dunker Church — a piece of Civil War graffiti that still is visible to visitors today. But who was Henry? Why did he leave his mark? When did he come back? The second story involves two Antietam-related murder mysteries\, one of which took place at the National Cemetery lodge\, the other targeting a battlefield superintendent. \nTom McMillan has spent a lifetime in sports media and communications – including 25 years as VP of Communications of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL – but his heartfelt passion is history. The author of four books on American history\, he has served on the board of trustees of Pittsburgh’s Heinz History Center\, the board of directors of the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial\, the marketing committee of the Gettysburg Foundation\, and as a docent at the Thomas Espy GAR Post in Carnegie\, PA.. Tom and his wife\, Colleen\, are also volunteer ambassadors at Antietam. A former newspaper sports writer and radio talk-show host who has covered the Olympics\, the Super Bowl\, the Stanley Cup Finals and the NCAA Final Four\, he earned a journalism degree from Point Park University in Pittsburgh. \nCome join leading historians and scholars as they discuss intriguing topics about their latest works and research on the Maryland Campaign and the Civil War during the Antietam Institute’s Civil War Summer Lecture Series. See the complete 2025 schedule. \nThese indoors programs are held in McKinley Hall at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. The church is located at 209W Main Street with a small parking area off the alley. More parking is available on Main and Hall Streets. These lectures free and open to the public. Each week the Antietam Institute holds a drawing in which the proceeds support the Save Historic Antietam Foundation. Be sure to check their Facebook page for updates and changes to the schedule.
