Saturdays and Sundays from April through September
Walk in the footsteps of doctors, nurses, soldiers and civilians who cared for 8,000 wounded soldiers in Downtown Frederick.
Join 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.

In 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.

McCauley Lecture Series
2025-09-15 18:00 UTC | Washington County Free Library, 100 South Potomac St., Hagerstown, Maryland, 21740
Does anybody really know when the Civil Rights Movement began? You will by the end of this presentation!
For the first time in public, Dr. Edward N. Maliskas makes the case that America’s Civil Rights Movement began in Washington County, Maryland.
Maliskas begins by offering for the audience’s consideration a short list of commonly cited candidates for the honor of being the birthplace of the movement. To be sure, they are important milestones, but do they meet the academic criteria for what constitutes the inception of a social movement?
The case begins with defining “social movement.” A quick list details the primary characteristics of a mass social movement, including the leadership, coordination, and strategies necessary to produce and sustain a movement as massive as the Civil Rights Movement.
Maliskas concludes that the only group sufficiently powerful and connected to begin the Movement did so with a large, passionate, and self-aware event held in Western Maryland in the early 1950s.

This insightful walking tour features former residents who participated in and experienced first-hand the American Civil War.

SAR 250 Speakers Series - "The 1774 Summer of Discontent: How Colonial Governors Unified Patriots for War"
2025-09-17 19:00 UTC | Frederick Masonic Lodge, 6816 Blentlinger Rd, Frederick, Maryland, 21702
Jim Bish, Revolutionary War historian, and President of Culpeper Minutemen Chapter VASSAR, will reveal the importance of the many local Resolves that were penned in the summer of 1774, especially in the middle Atlantic States of Maryland and Virginia. The local commitment against the actions of England became paramount in the success of the Revolution. Local residents reacted to the probable abolition of their rights by the British. This democratic action was the first step to declaring independence two years later. In doing so, the county freeholders and inhabitants bought into the upcoming struggle while producing a purely democratic set of documents which show a united clarity of purpose. Their collective local actions and their statements, county by county, have rarely been duplicated, previously or since. Virginia and Maryland produced the most comprehensive set of resolves compared to anywhere in the colonies leading up to the Revolutionary War. These resolves fortified their commitment to the ever-strengthening common cause of America. During the 1774 summer of discontent, the Royal Governor’s actions helped to unify Virginians and Marylanders for war, something that Massachusetts and the other colonies needed in the following years.
