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 May 2, as Institute member, Michael Hildebrand, discusses how his grandmother, Virginia, researched and prepared her original manuscript, and how he brought new life to Virginia’s original work after seventy years. He will provide an overview of the voices used to tell the story of Antietam in first and second person accounts and share some stories told in the book, Antietam Remembered.Read more about Michael and Virginia Mumma Hildebrand at: https://antietaminstitute.org/virginia-mumma-hildebrand-the-70-year-journey-of-the-antietam-remembered-manuscript/
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.
