Nice history lesson. Interesting displays. A nice break while browsing through downtown Frederick. Recommend for a cold or rainy day.

We were not expecting two floors filled with information. You start on the second floor where a docent gives you an overview, then wander at your leisure. Some hands on. Lots of info. Well worth the visit.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! Though the museum looks small from the outside, we have 8,000 square feet of exhibits on two floors packed with incredible stories and information. Plus we almost always have docents on hand to help with questions in the galleries.

We're sorry you didn't feel you got the best value for your money. If you ever come by again, we would love to give you a guided tour to help the subject come alive a bit more for you. We might be a smaller organization than the Smithsonian (we are a private non-profit), but we feel the story of Civil War medicine can be as impactful if given the chance.

Highly recommend this museum. Exhibits are well done and informative. The focus may be specific but it offers insights into how transformative the Civil War was in so many ways, including in modernizing medicine.
