SUMMARY:Alexandria’s Civil War Prisons: Confinement and Justice During Union Occupation
DESCRIPTION:During the Civil War\, Alexandria was home to five military prisons.

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. 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! Flash photography and LIVE streaming are prohibited. \nTours will be given on October 10\, 17\, 24\, and 25\, from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. This year the NMCWM is offering two special Halloween tours on Saturday\, October 31\, from 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.-10:30 p.m. During these special Halloween night tours\, you’ll have additional time to tour the galleries without a guide.
