Description
Visitors will find good reason to be thankful for modern hospitals at the National Museum of Civil War, the country's most significant facility with Civil War medicine (or lack thereof) as its focus. The NMCW's permanent collection contains vintage medical equipment, old uniforms, black and white photographs, life-size displays and historic documents to help paint a picture - not at all pretty - of the lives of physicians and their patients in Union and Confederate hospitals. For more along similar lines, visit the associated Pry House Field Hospital Museum on the Antietam National Battlefield.
