SUMMARY:Catoctin Furnace Living History Festival
DESCRIPTION:From Thursday\, September 11\, until Sunday\, September 14\, 2025\, the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society will present seven public performances of Iron Will\, set between October 11 and 13\, 1780\, at Catoctin Furnace. In 1780\, the Continental Army convinced the co-owners of Catoctin Furnace—Maryland’s first governor\, Thomas Johnson\, and his brother James\, the ironmaster at the furnace—to manufacture 31 tons of shells\, which were fired\, eventually\, at the decisive Battle of Yorktown. \nThis original production based on historical events focuses on the personal stories of people at the furnace—owners and workers\, European immigrants and African slaves—against the historical backdrop of the Revolutionary War and the development of Maryland’s industry. \nAudiences will be able to immerse themselves in the lives of the people at the Revolutionary War era furnace by attending site-specific performances at historic locations\, including the Collier Log Cabin\, the fully functional blacksmith’s shop\, the furnace\, and other outdoor locations.

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.
