September 17:
On this day 160 years ago the battle that resulted in the bloodiest single day in United States history was fought. At 5:30am the 9,000 strong First Corps under the command of Maj. Gen. Joseph Ho**er move into a 24-acre cornfield to attack Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s wing. After the 4-hour fight 8,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. McClellan sends reinforcements in the form of Edwin Sumner’s 2nd Corps. The first of Sumner’s 3 divisions engage Confederates in the West Woods while the other 2 divisions attack the Sunken Road (which will end around 1pm). When the fighting at the Sunken Road started around 9:30am, Federal 9th Corps commander, Ambrose Burnside, started his attack against 500 Confederates defending the Lower Bridge. Burnside successfully captured the bridge at 1pm and his final attack against the Confederate right flank unfolded a little after 3pm. As Burnside was on the verge of driving the Confederates into Sharpsburg, Confederate reinforcements from A.P Hill’s Light Division arrived from Harpers Ferry. Hill smashed into Burnsides left flank and forced his men to reposition on the hills in front of the Lower Bridge (now called Burnside Bridge). With the sun setting, the Battle of Antietam results in 23,000 Americans killed, wounded, or missing and the community of Sharpsburg was transformed forever. Come out this weekend to the 160th Anniversary Commemoration. We have a full schedule of living history programs and ranger hikes and tours. https://www.nps.gov/anti/planyourvisit/160-anniversary.htm

The River Bend Retreat at Taylors Landing

The River Bend Retreat at Taylor’s Landing is located in historic Sharpsburg, Maryland along the C&O Canal Towpath and overlooking the Potomac River. The Taylor’s Landing boat ramp is only about 1/4 mile downstream, and we are just three miles from Antietam National Battlefield, the site of the bloodiest day in U. S. military history.

Our freshly updated, private guest suite features a well-equipped kitchen with banquette seating, a cozy living area with flat-screen TV, a large master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and sitting alcove, a second bedroom with a bunk bed and pull-out trundle, one full bathroom with shower/bathtub combo, a front deck/balcony overlooking the barn, large front yard, and the towpath, and a patio tucked away in the back with picnic table, gas grill and fire pit. The unit (we refer to it as our guesthouse) is what some would call a "mother-in-law suite". It is attached to our main house, but is an entirely self-contained unit with a separate entrance, it's own parking area, and can accommodate up to four guests.

Whether you're in the area to enjoy the river and the towpath, soak up some history at Antietam National Battlefield, or explore the quaint nearby towns and attractions, we look forward to hosting your stay! Visit our website for even more details, information, and local recommendations. See you soon!
