Antietam Creek, photographed on June 3, 2011, photo, at Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Md., offers quiet spaces for contemplation, walking and paddling in its still waters and along banks where Civil War fighting raged in September 1862. Antietam is no less hallowed ground than the fields of Gettysburg, 50 miles away, but certainly less touristy and not as well known. (AP Photo/Cal Woodward
