Ranger promoted to superintendent of Antietam and Monocacy battlefields
Ranger John Howard, 43, becomes superintendent of Antietam and Monocacy after 21 years with the National Park Service. He will oversee 40 employees, 7000 acres, and a 16 million dollar budget while pushing to restore Antietam to 1862 and Monocacy to 1864 conditions. A Worthington Farm trail may open next summer if weather cooperates. The battles were pivotal in the Civil War with Lee's invasion halted at Antietam in 1862 and Early's 1864 raid delayed at Monocacy.
