The Central Ohio Civil War Roundtable traditionally has an open discussion in its January meetings, with a topic selected ahead of time; this month, it was 'battlefield visits.'
One interesting question posed was, "What do you think is the best battlefield for a first-timer to visit?" There were a number of suggestions, but many mentioned Antietam for its combination of monuments, interpretation, preservation, and the relative simplicity of the actions (compared to other big battles), as well as being rather less crowded than, say, Gettysburg.
I agreed with the Antietam suggestion. What would you say?
