Civil War Trust 2018 Calendar, March: South Mountain

This calendar takes a look at some of the many Civil War sites the trust has bought land.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN, MARYLAND

635 acres saved.

The Battle of South Mountain on September 14, 1862, is often overshadowed by the Battle of Antietam three days later, but the Union offensive here at several gaps helped push Robert E. Lee out of Maryland.

The Civil War Trust has saved 635 acres of crucial land here, with 100 acres alone saved in 2017, significantly expanding the boundaries of South Mountain State Battlefield.
