11th Mississippi Monument

Very recently, Antietam gained a brand new monument, the first on the field since the 1990s. While the National Park Service has a moratorium on new monuments, this one was erected on private property, sitting just south of Cornfield Avenue, as well as the famous Cornfield itself. The monument honors the 11th Mississippi Infantry. The monument is extremely well done, very tasteful and respectful, yet artistic as well. This is one Antietam Ranger who is (unofficially of course) very pleased with the new addition to our park.


Here are a few pics of our newest monument...
