SUMMARY:America 250 Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Author John Rees will examine the role of Black Americans\, free and enslaved\, in the regiments of the Continental Army. Black troops served in nearly every Continental regiment\, and even relatively large numbers served in southern regiments. The greatest number served alongside their White comrades in integrated units. Rees will discuss Black soldiers’ acceptance\, service\, and experiences during and after the war for American independence. African American women with the army will also be discussed\, including a rare Connecticut soldier’s letter sent home to his wife who also spent time in camp. \nJohn U. Rees\, is a lifelong resident of Bucks County\, Pa.\, and has been writing for almost 40 years on the experiences of common soldiers and women in the armies of the American Revolution. He has authored more than 200 articles\, most available free online. His first book\, ‘They Were Good Soldiers’: African Americans Serving in the Continental Army\, 1775-1783 was published in 2019; his second\, titled Don Troiani’s Black Soldiers in America’s Wars\, 1754-1865\, was published in January 2025. \nThe presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and FREE for NMCWM members.

SUMMARY:Haunted History at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Starting on October 11th\, tour the most haunted building in Frederick – the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. Explore the building’s history amidst the darkened galleries and offices. On the tour\, staff and volunteers will share stories of Civil War embalmers\, the building’s most infamous tenants\, and their first-hand accounts of paranormal activity that have given the building its spooky reputation. In addition to a trip through the museum galleries\, the tour provides exclusive access to the third floor where numerous sightings have occurred. \n48 East Patrick Street was built in the 1830s. Before it became the National Museum of Civil War Medicine\, the building was a furniture shop and a site of Civil War embalming\, as well as home to many Frederick residents and their businesses. The past still echoes through the halls of the building. The haunting sights\, sounds\, and sensations from the building have been reported for decades by the people who lived and worked in the building over many years. Join us to hear our staff and volunteers’ stories first-hand. \nYou are invited to bring your own cameras and ghost-finding apps – who knows what you’ll capture! \nFlash photography and LIVE streaming are prohibited. Tours will be given on October 11\, 18\, 25\, and 26 from 5:00-6:30PM. This year we are offering two special Halloween tours on Friday\, October 31 from 5:00-7:30 and 7:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m. During these special Halloween night tours\, you’ll have additional time to tour the galleries without a guide.
