Antietam - Luminaries - First weekend in Dec

Postby BILLYL » Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:27 pm

The annual ANTIETAM LUMINARIES is scheduled for the first weekend in December.

http://www.nps.gov/anti/planyourvisit/luminary.htm

If you have never been there it is an experience beyond words. 23,000 Luminaries are placed in the battlefield - and my sons BSA troop is invited back again this year to layout one of the fields.

We go up the night before and camp at the ag center. So hope to see you there.

Basically correct.

North - called it by landmarks
South - by name of town.

I believe that is correct.

One exception that comes to mind is Gettysburg.

Any experts out there?
