Reel Barn, Antietam national battlefield, Antietam National Battlefield
Summary
Gardner captured more local devastation in this image of the destroyed barn owned by the Reel family. The farm is just west of the battlefield and the barn suffered a direct hit from Union artillery, caught fire and burned. Sadly, at the time it was struck the barn was serving as a Confederate field hospital.
