Our First Saturday programs are back, and this year's theme is "Ancestors at Antietam". We've invited several Institute members who had ancestors who fought at Antietam, or have unique connections with Sharpsburg, to tell us a little about their ancestor and/or their experiences. Join us on April 4, to hear Institute member Laurie Buckler Mack share the story of her ancestor, “Rediscovering William” Lt. William Alden Horton and the 16th Connecticut at Antietam. Read more about Laurie and her ancestor at: https://antietaminstitute.org/rediscovering-william-lt-william-alden-horton-and-the-16th-connecticut-at-antietam/
These monthly talks are free and open to the public. Anyone may attend – and you do not need to register. The talks will be held at the Institute’s Education Center at 101W Main Street, Sharpsburg, beginning at 2 pm.
The center will be open once a month from 1:00 – 3:30pm. Institute staff will be on hand to answer questions about the Maryland Campaign, help with membership, and event registrations.
