To authorize the establishment at Antietam National Battlefield of a memorial to the officers and enlisted men of the Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiments and the First New Hampshire Light Artillery Battery who fought in the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, and for other purposes.

H.R. 1084 would authorize the creation of a memorial at Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland to honor four specific New Hampshire military units that fought there during the Civil War. The bill stipulates that the memorial must be designed and built using private donations rather than federal taxpayer money, though the National Park Service would take over its long-term maintenance once completed. For visitors and descendants, this legislation would provide a dedicated site on the battlefield to recognize the specific contributions and sacrifices of New Hampshire’s volunteer infantry and light artillery during the conflict.
