SUMMARY:Ranger Hike and Skirmish Demonstration at Historic Newcomer House
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 30\, the 3rd US Regular Infantry will present military and civilian living history near the Newcomer House\, including a skirmish demonstration. The demonstration will be part of a ranger-led hike of the Middle Bridge area of the battlefield\, including the Tidball Trail and Sherrick Farm Trail\, to focus on the 5th Corps at the Battle of Antietam. \nVisitors will meet at the historic Newcomer House on the Antietam National Battlefield at 1:00 pm for an introduction and safety briefing before walking to the Tidball waysides for the skirmish demonstration. After the demonstration\, visitors may return to the Newcomer House\, talk with the Regulars\, or continue on the ranger-led hike. The hike will be under 2 miles and will last up to two hours. Visitors are reminded to wear comfortable footwear and to dress appropriately for the weather. This program is free and does not require advance registration. \nThe Newcomer House is the only dwelling on the Antietam National Battlefield that witnessed the battle and is regularly open to the public. It serves as an exhibit and visitor center for the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area. Knowledgeable volunteer docents are available to share information about the Newcomer House and offer assistance to visitors to the three-county Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area. \nThis is the tenth season of Porch Programs at the Newcomer House. Porch Programs feature presentations\, demonstrations\, pop-up exhibits\, interactives and more during the season.
