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:“Ancestors at Antietam” - “Rediscovering William” Lt. William Alden Horton and the 16th Connecticut at Antietam“
DESCRIPTION:The Antietam Institute’s First Saturday programs are back\, and this year’s theme is “Ancestors at Antietam.” They’ve invited several Institute members who had ancestors who fought at Antietam\, or have unique connections with Sharpsburg\, to tell us a little about their ancestor and/or their experiences. Join on April 4\, to hear Laurie Buckler Mack share the story of her ancestor called\, “Rediscovering William” Lt. William Alden Horton and the 16th Connecticut at Antietam.” \nLaurie is a native of Maryland and lived in the Boston area before moving back to Maryland and settling in Annapolis. Laurie has a BA in English and AA in Veterinary Technology and has enjoyed a second career as a RVT at a Veterinary Surgical Referral practice for the last 25 years. She grew up in the suburbs of Washington DC surrounded by references to the American Civil War: Attending Walt Whitman High School\, learning to drive on the Clara Barton Parkway and taking endless trips across the Potomac River on the Jubal Early at White’s Ferry are just a few. Her father Don was a huge history buff and loved to talk about family history\, reminding Laurie that she had an ancestor who was killed at Antietam. Laurie was finally able to visit Antietam during Covid in August of 2020\, sparking an interest in the Maryland Campaign\, Lt. William Alden Horton\, and the 16th Connecticut. Laurie is currently a member of the Jamestowne Society\, the Maryland Mayflower Society\, Society of New England Women\, Daughters of the American Revolution\, National Society United States Daughters of 1812\, Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War and the New England Historic Genealogical Society. Hobbies include fulfilling Find-a-Grave requests\, exploring historical sites\, and reading. \nThese monthly talks are free and open to the public – anyone may attend – and you do not need to register. The talks will be held at the Institute’s Education Center at 101W Main Street\, Sharpsburg\, beginning at 2 pm.
