Honoring Civil War Nurses

Honoring Civil War Nurses

National Museum of Civil War Medicine

Located in Frederick, Maryland, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine is described as “the premier center for the preservation and research of the legacy of Civil War medical innovation.” While it doesn’t specifically address the role of female nurses, it includes a variety of exhibits about camp life, evacuation of the wounded and field and pavilion hospitals. The associated Pry House Field Medical Museum is located on the site of the Battle of Antietam and includes a field hospital exhibit. The museum is also in negotiations to take over management of Clara Barton’s Missing Soldiers Office, located in Washington D.C. In 1997, U.S. General Services Administration personnel found artifacts believed to have belonged to Clara Barton in an attic of a building she’s believed to have used to house her Missing Soldiers Office.

The museum is open 10 am to 5 pm Monday-Saturday and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday. The Pry House Field Medical Exhibit is open daily between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Admission is $6.50 for adults; children under 10 are free.

    It didn't honor or support the confederacy but nursing on both sides and the bravery and precedent of what that means to us today. This is not a north vs south issue. It's nursing history, like it or not. Just like several things in our country's past (and dare I say present), there are shameful things there but it does not mean that some wonderful things can happen at the same time. There is no need to belittle your own profession's history here and certainly not to belittle the southern or northern women who decided that PEOPLE deserved care and compassion on the battlefields. I don't know about you but I am thankful for those on both sides who started ensuring more soliders survived and with better qualities of life. I know our military appreciates it then and NOW. Please learn to pay attention to the topic at hand instead of making everything an argument and causing dishonor to those who paved the way for how our soliders of today are cared for and how your career has been shaped.

    The War Between the States was not about slavery so much as it was about States rights. Only about 6% of the population of the South owned slaves, and many Northerners owned slaves. So for you to be offended about the Confederacy because you are black, does not hold water. It was brother against brother, against the injustices of the northern states against the southern states in trade. I have been in the health care industry for 30+ years also, and I honor all those who have helped to improve our profession North and South, black and white. I don't think Clara Barton or Dorothea Dix cared if their patients were black or white or yankees or rebels, they tended to them in their time of need....as our profession is known to do.

    As a RN of over 30 years, and as a BLACK WOMAN I did not appreciate honoring ANYTHING supporting the CONFEDERACY for obvious reasons.
