Spring Symposium, April 11-12, 2025“Defending it to the Last Extremity:” Harpers Ferry and the Road to Antietam
Join us on April 11 & 12, 2025 for the Antietam Institute’s fourth annual Symposium, which will focus on Harpers Ferry during the Maryland Campaign of 1862. As you would expect, the Institute has gathered a distinguished group of speakers to share their expertise with those in attendance. The program will cover effects of the preceding Second Manassas Campaign, the Federal commanders at Harpers Ferry, the role of artillery there, and General “Stonewall” Jackson’s leadership during the siege and reduction of the place. Speakers include: Dan Welsh, Sharon Murray, Steven Stotelmyer, Jim Rosebrock, and Dr. Chris Mackowski.
The Symposium will be held in the Storer Ballroom in the Student Center on the campus of Shepherd University. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. This event will also include an optional field trip the Friday afternoon before the Symposium which will explore Harpers Ferry during the siege of 1862, led by Dennis Frye.
Antietam Institute membership is required to attend this event. Find out more at: https://antietaminstitute.org/2025-spring-symposium/
