We first stopped for pizza at Vesta Pizzeria. They have great food and even better prices. A Sam Adams beer was $2 and that was regular price! I highly recommend eating there if you ever find yourself in Boonesboro.
3 hours later we were at the gates to get into the park. The luminaries were breathtaking and really a site worth seeing. It did a great job of depicting how eerie it must have looked like to see miles of land riddled with soldiers (23,000 to be exact) who had lost their lives, were wounded, or went missing during this 12 hour battle. It's hard to believe just one battle out of the civil war could have ended with that many casualties.
