The Western Maryland Interpretive Association is the official nonprofit cooperating association for Antietam National Battlefield.
Our mission is to inspire people to preserve and protect Antietam for the benefit of all who visit here today, and for generations to follow. We are honored to work with the park staff that diligently cares for this hallowed ground and grateful for the growing numbers of Antietam Partners – members, project donors and volunteers – who value the sacrifice and serenity that is Antietam.
