national museum of civil war medicine印象

I thought this museum was going to be fascinating because of the subject matter and we really kind of went out of our way to visit. What a disappointment. I didn’t learn anything that I had not seen or read about before. The displays are setup so that you have to read your way through the museum and frankly it got tiresome. It covers two floors, but they are partial floors. If I was bored, I can imagine children being bored silly. Maybe I wouldn’t have been as disappointed if it had cost $3 to get in, but at almost $10, it really wasn’t worth it. I wish I would have spent my precious time seeing another attraction.

I was hesitant to visit as I was afraid there would be two floors describing the limited medicines and surgical techniques available during the war. However, the museum shines in exploring the full range of challenges and advances that Civil War medicine meant. From the first exhibit that dispels many myths, through descriptions of the battlefield environment, the use of anesthesia in surgery, the advances in prosthetics, the many diseases the soldiers faced, the development of a planned ambulance service and the role of women and African Americans in medical treatment, the museum continually informs in an interesting way. Best of all is the ability to put a human face on the whole subject with numerous personal stories of doctors, nurses, soldiers and private citizens.

Other reviewers appear to have done good reporting, so I do not have much to add. The theme covered is quite limited in scope, of course, and the museum is small, but one learns a lot (and particularly, understands better things one already thought s/he knew). They have organized the museum as a sort of linear display, not large rooms where one can pick and choose what to see. I appreciated following the letters home which are part of the display, giving an immediacy to what was being observed. I wouldn't recommend a visit to Frederick just to see this museum, but if you are in the area, a visit to this museum will contribute to your understanding of both medicine and the Civil War.

While this is a small museum, there is a ton of information, and was a great place to spend 1.5 hours. Our family had been in Gettysburg the day prior and having that recent experience, extremely helped our appreciation of the exhibits/ information presented here. We have 4 children, aged 10-18, the younger two didn't enjoy it as much as the older two-there's quite a bit of reading involved.

Our only in Frederick, this museum did an excellent job portraying what it was like to have been a patient during the Civil War. A real eye opener as to how medicine was revolutionized during the years of war.

One might not think civil war medicine would be interesting enough to devote an entire museum to it, but you would be wrong. This two floor museum has more than a dozen rooms. There is a mixture of historical objects, full size dioramas, and a lot of education signage. The gift shop is well stocked with interesting things to buy. If you find yourself in Frederick, check out this museum.

I learned quite a bit about the Medicine that they were able to give during this time. There are some things that could have been a little better, but I am sure that they will work on this in the future.

This unique museum is a must-visit for any Civil War enthusiast or person involved with medicine. The photographs of the patch-work fix-ups of the wounded soldiers are incredible--amazing what could be done so long ago. The museum is also easy to get to, with parking on the street or in several near-by garages.

This is a unique museum. Never have I seen the issue of medical casualties discussed or addressed in readings or documentaries. I know it sounds nerdy, but the information kept my attention and that of my teenagers.

This museum has great artifacts and provides fascinating insights into the brutal reality of the U.S. Civil War.
