SUMMARY:One Vast Hospital – Civil War Walking Tour in Downtown Frederick
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays and Sundays from April through September\nWalk in the footsteps of doctors\, nurses\, soldiers and civilians who cared for 8\,000 wounded soldiers in Downtown Frederick. \nJoin NMCWM docents for a walking tour of Downtown Frederick focused on the city’s role as a makeshift hospital in the final months of 1862 every Saturday (10:30 a.m.) and Sunday (2:00 p.m.) from April through September. \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. \nIn September 1862\, a newspaper correspondent from the Philadelphia Inquirer referred to Frederick as “one vast hospital.” In the aftermath of America’s bloodiest day at Antietam on September 17\, 1862\, over 8\,000 wounded soldiers\, Union and Confederate\, were brought to make-shift hospital wards in Frederick’s churches\, schools\, hotels\, and private homes. From the diaries and letters of the surgeons\, soldiers\, and civilians who were there\, this guided walking tour will explore the locations of the city’s Civil War hospitals in churches\, schools\, and public buildings. Many of those same buildings still make up the historic district today.
