The Glade Valley Mill Built in the 1850's the Glade Valley Mill in Woodsboro, Maryland has had a varied and interesting past. For me the Mill was a back drop to my married life always sitting next to my husbands grandparents home like a stately old dame, albeit lost and forlorn. From the time I had first laid eyes on the old building to the time that my brother in law purchased it in 2014, I had always wondering if people still walked the halls.

This historical town was the site of the bloodiest day of the Civil War, the Battle of Antietam. On this day; September 17, 1862; 22,717 were counted dead, wounded or missing. Walking through the fields and monuments of the Antietam National Battlefield today, you can't help but feel the sadness and pain that etched the landscape so many years ago even while admiring the peace and beauty that now envelopes the ghosts of all who fought on that battlefield. I enjoy walking and photographing the beauty of the battlefield, especially Burnside's Bridge which is just south of the visitors center. I will admit I am not much of a Civil War buff so I could never take anyone on a tour of the battlefield with any success of imparting detailed information about the advancements of Union or Confederate troops, but I enjoy it just the same. My interest in the battlefield took an
