A great place to spend a couple hours. This museum was well thought out and put together in a very logical way. We learned a lot about medicine from the 4 years of the civil war.

While staying in nearby Herndon, Va we did a day trip to see this museum. It was well worth it. It’s located in a quaint little town.

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.

We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your brief visit. 45 minutes to an hour before closing we don't charge full admission since the museum typically takes people around an hour to complete. When you get the chance, come back and see the full museum.
