Strange Tales of Civil War Medicine at the Pry House
October 19, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Hear tales of the Civil War that are stranger than fiction.
Join Collections Manager Rachel Moses at the Pry House to hear tales of the Civil War that are stranger than fiction.
Come to the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on October 19 at 4:00 PM for a special one-hour tour about the grisly, gross and ghoulish cases of Civil War Medicine. On this exclusive outdoor tour of the Pry House and grounds, visitors will hear ghastly true tales from the Civil War – stories of grave robbers, experimental surgery, battlefield horrors and more.
This will be a pay-what-you-please program.
The Pry House Field Hospital Museum is located at 18906 Shepherdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD 21756
