Very interesting to learn how so much of emergency medicine that is still practiced today started there.
-
Used as a field hospital during the Civil War, nicely restored farm with NPS interpreters to tell of it's story on those. dark days in it's past.
-
Very interesting to get an idea of this side of the war. Simple, but yet full of information and worth the time to see!
-
This is an adjunct to the larger and main Civil War medical museum but well worth the visit. Excellent 'view' of some medical practices used during the Civil War

Open during most day hours...close to the entrance to Antietam. Some of the fighting took place nearby and this house was used as a field hospital by both sides. They still dig up bones and relics nearby with an on going excavation close as well. Interesting, short stop but nothing compare to the main battlefield.

If you have a little extra time you should visit the Pry House. The exhibits are small, but the information supplied by the lady who works there is fascinating. We were the only ones there during the time we visited so we got a very thorough tour. She was wonderful explaining the differences between Hollywood's version of Civil War medicine and the truth. We also came to understand the toll on the local civilian population.

Pry house relives the post-war apocalypse oftrying to treat the wounded and sick. Nicely staged wax figures and real time scene of the day staged in two different rooms. Details of the types of conditions faced by the docs and limitations in their surgical skills, tools, and knowledge of infection explains who died and who wished they had. It's on National PArk Grounds apparently but run by the Museum affiliated in Frederick so there's a separate 'suggested donation' they hit you up for. Cute gifts in the gift shop. Nice view of the former battlefield from a ridge out the back of the house. About a twenty minute walk around.

The Pry House, a mile or so east of the Antietam battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland, is another aspect of the 1862 battle that has been added in recent years. It should be added to your tour, along with the Dunker church, corn field, west woods, sunken road and Burnside's bridge. It was Union Gen. George McClellan's headquarters and a field hospital during the battle and today it is the site of an excellent museum that demonstrates the primitive ways that doctors tried to aid wounded soldiers at that time. Modern surgical methods and antibiotics were unknown. A minie ball in the arm or leg usually meant an amputation. A bullet in the stomach almost certainly was fatal. One Union general was hospitalized at Pry House for two months after the battle and was attended to by his wife and family. But he died of his wounds. There are wonderful exhibits and surgical utensils to demonstrate how doctors in those days tried to aid their patients. It is an excellent addition to the visitor's center and the battlefield tour. From his headquarters, with no trees to spoil the view, McClellan could get an unobstructed view of the battlefield. Not today.

My husband and I visited the Pry House Field Hospital Museum after visiting Antietam National Battlefield since it was so close. Although the Pry House is run by a non-profit organization and is not part of the National Park Service, it was still very much worth the visit. The grounds were very well maintained, and the tour guides/workers we encountered were very knowledgeable and you could tell they enjoyed being a part of the Pry House. They took the time to answer as many questions as we had, and really knew all of the answers as well. It is really just a visit to the house and the barn, but history was made there, and we loved standing in the same room that Abraham Lincoln did with General McClelland. Well worth the visit!

brochures and travel guides state that this museum is open 7 days per week in the summer. Upon arrival we encountered a sign stating open Thursday thru Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday!!!)
