This page features an Antietam photo gallery that will help you to plan a tour based on themes. For example, different types or categories of battlefield monuments could be called a “theme.” The following table provides an index to photos that we group into learning categories or themes. One popular idea is to begin your ride with a checklist of monuments or other physical structures that you want to see or photograph. Then cycle through Antietam National Battlefield looking for those structures. If you do a little research on each structure before your ride, your on-site discovery will feel more meaningful and your learning will have been advanced considerably. You might also enjoy our page of Antietam Landscape Photos.

As you review each themed category, please read the photo captions and learn the names of monuments. Each photo gallery includes a short historical summary whose purpose is to help you make connections between what a structure commemorates or represents and what learnings you will take away or apply. You can also follow links to interactive quizzes and scavenger hunts.
