Tickets are free for Museum members\, but you must still reserve your spot.

SUMMARY:The Roads Less Traveled: The Rustic Roads in Frederick County
DESCRIPTION:Frederick County’s Road system is dominated by modern well-paved thoroughfares. However\, tucked away among the county’s towns and farms\, including some in the Middletown Valley\, are rustic roads dating back to the mid-1700s – and were frequently used during the Civil War. Susan Hanson will discuss the rich history of these historic pathways and efforts to preserve them. \nSusan Hanson was the founder of The Friends of Rural Roads and has been a leading advocate for the preservation of Frederick County’s rustic roads for over 25 years. She operated her own business\, Catoctin Pottery\, in the historic Lewis Mill for 40 years. At present\, she is the Vice Chair of Frederick County’s Rustic Roads Commission.

SUMMARY:Haunted History at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Starting on October 10th\, 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.
