The Lingering Threat: The Aftermath of Early’s Raid on Washington, July 1864

July 8, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

Even after the Battle of Monocacy Confederates were still a threat to the D.C. region

Join us at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine on Monday, July 8 from 7:00 – 8:00 PM for a special event in conjunction with the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Monocacy. National Park Ranger Cameron Mallow will discuss the events of July 1864 that transpired between Jubal Early’s Confederate forces and the Federal forces after the battle.

Highlights will include the Second Battle of Kernstown, the burning of Chambersburg, and the Battle of Moorfield. Confederate General John McCausland was a major player during all three events and will be a focus of the talk.

The presentation is FREE.
