⚠️ 400 entry spots remain

Registration for the 64th Annual JFK 50 Mile presented by Altra Running is moving at a record pace.

With fewer than 400 entries left, we fully expect this year’s race to sell out faster than ever.

If you’re planning to run in November, don’t wait. Once the race reaches capacity, registration will close and the only option will be to try again next year.

Secure your spot now before they’re gone.

The first Antietam Illumination was created on snowy fields on a very cold December day. Camera batteries didn't last very long...the volunteers were freezing, but they got it done. The weather was much more like Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia. It's amazing that the volunteers came back for the second year . This is the icy view from the Bloody Lane Tower. We hope it doesn't snow on Dec 6...it's very pretty...but.......

"This house is historically known as "Stone Field". The original house was built in 1760 and was then known as "Peter Mong's cabin". Another part of the house was added in 1810. Much like the Hager House, part of this house is built over a spring. Historic preservation is exceedingly important to safeguard the workmanship of skilled artisans and honor the history of our county." -Laura Lane-Unsworth

Stone Field is a recent Historic Preservation Overlay property. This overlay is applied through a rezoning process at no charge to the property owner. Once the overlay is applied, the structures involved are eligible for more flexibility in local ordinances such as the Building Code and Floodplain ordinances. The Historic District Commission does have permit review in these areas as well. Most importantly, for those restoring historic resources, these overlays are also eligible for tax credit programs!
