SUMMARY:One Vast Hospital - Downtown Frederick Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the incredible Civil War history in Downtown Frederick with expert guides from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. \nEvery Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday at 12:00 p.m. from April until September\, docents from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine will explain how Frederick became “One Vast Hospital.” Arguably the most trying moment in city’s history came after the Battle of Antietam in the fall of 1862. The town’s population doubled when 8\,000 wounded soldiers were delivered by ambulance to make-shift hospitals throughout Frederick. Walking tours last for an hour to an hour and a half. \nTickets are $15 and include admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in addition to the walking tour. Tickets are free for Museum members\, but you must still reserve your spot. Reservations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. \nContact Chris Reed at chris.reed@civilwarmed.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Elevated Architecture Double Decker Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Frederick is excited to partner with Maryland Double Deckers to bring you an all new history experience! Most people walk through Downtown Frederick with absolutely no awareness of what’s happening above their own eyebrows\, which is precisely how gargoyles gain confidence. This tour aims to correct that. \nMany of the defining features of historic Downtown Frederick’s charming architecture are found high above the streets in upper stories\, cornices\, and spires. Discover beautifully preserved examples of commercial\, residential\, religious\, and public buildings displaying major American and European styles that span more than two centuries. Along the way\, we’ll explore how the history of Frederick is told by the enduring structures that witnessed it. \nRecurring program: Saturdays: June 13\, July 11\, August 8 10-11:30am Sundays: September 13\, October 11 2-3:30pm
