Review:
Based in Historic Downtown Frederick, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine focuses on the medical, surgical, and nursing practices during the American Civil War. The U.S. historic education institution boasts over 7,000 square feet with five immersion exhibits spanning two floors, which explore medicine during the war and demonstrate the techniques used on the battlefields of the Civil War, and how they contributed to modern medicine. Exhibits recreate aspects of Civil War medical issues such as a field hospital, a field dressing station, a military hospital ward, getting wounded men off the battlefield, and life in camp. Displays include equipment, tools and other items, such as surgical kits, and the only known surviving Civil War surgeon’s tent.
