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.

SUMMARY:Rural History Day - Early Church Seating and Worship Customs in the United Brethren Church
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about a little known church tradition\, rooted deep in Maryland among some branches of Christianity (and others) but rarely practiced in its most conservative format? Find out by joining us on Saturday July 26th! \nThe Mount Tabor United Brethren Church was built in 1853 north of Huyetts Crossroads in Washington County\, Maryland. It is representative of many country churches that dot the Washington County\, Maryland landscape. Prior to it being donated to the Friends of the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum and moved to their Village at the Washington County Ag Education Center\, it was listed on the Maryland Historic Sites Inventory. \nVolunteers have worked over this past year to build a low dividing wall in the church. As was common for the Brethren and the Mennonites\, women and men entered this church through separate front doors. In this building\, they were also seated separately for worship\, with a low wall dividing the interior into men’s and women’s spaces. \nYou are invited to attend this special Rural History Day celebration and learn more about what it took to save this piece of county church history. \n12:00pm – 12:45pm Special Worship Service in the Mount Tabor Church located in the Rural Heritage Village\, pastor Steve Wagoner(retired) will lead the service.\n1:00pm – 1:30pm Photo journey and history of the church to be presented by the David Resh family who were instrumental in saving the church and relocating it to its permanent home at the Rural Heritage Village.

SUMMARY:Reimagining War’s Reality: A Consideration of Photographs of Antietam’s Dead
DESCRIPTION:Saturday Speaker Series: Dr. James Broomall \nHistorian and Professor Jim Broomall will take a new look at the famous images of dead soldiers on the Antietam battlefield. The standard tale is that Americans were shocked by these photographs and their stark depiction of war. But Dr. Broomall will look at other types of contemporary depictions such as lithographs\, to reconsider this assessment. \nDid the photographs of the Antietam dead truly “bring home” the “reality and earnestness of war”? The now-famous “New York Times” review\, “Pictures of the Dead at Antietam\,” is oft quoted and has become a lasting symbol of how Civil War-era Americans reacted to images of wartime dead. Professor Broomall will call this orthodoxy into question and challenge the audience to more fully consider the Antietam photographs’ varied meanings through a broader discussion of lithographs\, postmortem images\, and contemporary source materials. By so doing\, we will together reimagine the reality of war. \nThe presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
