SUMMARY:Special Exhibition - "The Dead of Antietam"
DESCRIPTION:When Alexander Gardner’s stunning photographs of the Antietam battlefield were publicly displayed in 1862\, they changed how Americans saw war forever. For a limited time\, you can relive that sobering exhibition at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. \nA photograph captured in the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam by Alexander Gardner. (LOC) \nOn March 1\, 2018\, the acclaimed exhibition “The Dead of Antietam” will return to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office in Washington\, DC. The exhibit recreates and explores the original photographs taken in the days after the bloodiest day in American history\, the Battle of Antietam\, on September 17\, 1862. When the photographs were first publicly displayed by Mathew Brady in New York in 1862\, they shocked a nation and showed the true nature of warfare – the anonymous dead laying row upon row on an American landscape. \n“Mr. Brady has done something to bring home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war\,” wrote the New York Times after the original exhibition began in October 1862. “If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets\, he has done something very like it.” \nCaptured by Washington photographer Alexander Gardner\, the images changed the perception of war in the United States and continue to reverberate in our own era as we grapple with human consequences of the continuing conflicts around the world. Now you\, too\, can experience the images that once captivated and horrified a nation in a 19th century setting.  The exhibit proves that history repeats itself as it provokes discussion on today’s military censorship of visual images of bodies and casualties returning from war zones. \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display at the Missing Soldiers Office from March 1\, 2018 until May 19\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 6:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Reservations Coordinator Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nThe exhibit restages the original photographic images\, allowing visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago. Display prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition Library of Congress digital files. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. \nVisitors will explore how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. “The Dead of Antietam” exhibition at the Missing Soldiers Office was created by Bob Kozak. \nGardner’s studio was also an integral part of Clara Barton’s everyday life during the Civil War. Located one block from Barton’s boardinghouse on 7th Street\, the studio became a hub of war-time activity as Gardner experimented with new photographic techniques and sold copies of his photographs. Like Gardner\, Barton was also on the battlefield at Antietam and witnessed its slaughter firsthand. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

SUMMARY:Parental Guidance Necessary - Children Experience the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Civil War as seen through the eyes of the children who experienced it firsthand.  \n \nOn May 3\, 2018 at the Missing Soldiers Office\, historian Kristen Hunter will illuminate some of the ways children in both the North and South experienced the Civil War. The presentation will begin at 6 PM. Admission is “pay-what-you-please.” \nEncouraged by their parents and swept up by wartime rhetoric\, children romanticized the war and were awe-inspired by their courageous soldiers in blue or gray. With their soldier costumes and toys\, young boys adopted soldier personas and acted out battles with their siblings. Some young girls\, inspired by the patriotic efforts of their mothers\, saved their pennies and knitted socks to send to soldiers in need.  \nFrom parading around in soldier costumes and staging mock battles in the yard\, to forming gangs and engaging in real battles with rocks\, the war greatly impacted the everyday lives of boys and girls in rural areas\, cities\, and even in the White House. \nKristen Hunter is a recent graduate of George Mason University’s History of Decorative Arts MA program. Her Master’s thesis\, “By Her Needle and Thread\,” explored how women used material objects of their production to influence how their family experienced the Civil War.

SUMMARY:The Freedmen's Bureau in Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Hear the remarkable story of the Freedmen’s Bureau in war-torn Virginia after the Civil War.  \nFreedmen’s Bureau office in Richmond\, VA. (Harper’s Weekly\, December 23\, 1865) \nEmmanuel Dabney will discuss  the Bureau of Refugees\, Freedmen\, and Abandoned Lands (usually referred to as the Freedmen’s Bureau) work in Virginia in the aftermath of the Civil War at the Missing Soldiers Office on April 19\, 2018 at 6 PM. The presentation will be “pay-what-you-please.” \nThe Freedmen’s Bureau was created in March 1865 to oversee the abandoned property of Southerners and provide aid to white Unionist refugees and the recently freed people. However\, competing viewpoints from white Republicans\, Democrats\, and black and white Southerners created much disappointment for the recently freed people\, who pretty rapidly took up most of the Bureau’s time and effort. \nDespite racialized violence\, the Bureau was able to provide some assistance to the freed people and help lay the groundwork for their futures in the aftermath of generations of enslavement and their own resistance to slavery. \nEmmanuel Dabney is the curator at Petersburg National Battlefield in Petersburg\, Virginia.

Now you\, too\, can experience the images that once captivated and horrified a nation in a 19th century setting.  The exhibit proves that history repeats itself as it provokes discussion on today’s military censorship of visual images of bodies and casualties returning from war zones. \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display at the Missing Soldiers Office from March 1\, 2018 until May 19\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 6:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Reservations Coordinator Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nThe exhibit restages the original photographic images\, allowing visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago. Display prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition Library of Congress digital files. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. \nVisitors will explore how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. “The Dead of Antietam” exhibition at the Missing Soldiers Office was created by Bob Kozak. \nGardner’s studio was also an integral part of Clara Barton’s everyday life during the Civil War. Located one block from Barton’s boardinghouse on 7th Street\, the studio became a hub of war-time activity as Gardner experimented with new photographic techniques and sold copies of his photographs. Like Gardner\, Barton was also on the battlefield at Antietam and witnessed its slaughter firsthand. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibition - "War On Our Doorsteps"
DESCRIPTION:When Alexander Gardner’s stunning photographs of the Antietam battlefield were publicly displayed in 1862\, they changed how Americans saw war forever. For a limited time\, you can relive that sobering exhibition at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. \nA photograph captured in the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam by Alexander Gardner. (LOC) \nOn March 1\, 2018\, the acclaimed exhibition “The Dead of Antietam” will return to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office in Washington\, DC. The exhibit recreates and explores the original photographs taken in the days after the bloodiest day in American history\, the Battle of Antietam\, on September 17\, 1862. When the photographs were first publicly displayed by Mathew Brady in New York in 1862\, they shocked a nation and showed the true nature of warfare – the anonymous dead laying row upon row on an American landscape. \n“Mr. Brady has done something to bring home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war\,” wrote the New York Times after the original exhibition began in October 1862. “If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets\, he has done something very like it.”\n\nCaptured by Washington photographer Alexander Gardner\, the images changed the perception of war in the United States and continue to reverberate in our own era as we grapple with human consequences of the continuing conflicts around the world. Now you\, too\, can experience the images that once captivated and horrified a nation in a 19th century setting.  The exhibit proves that history repeats itself as it provokes discussion on today’s military censorship of visual images of bodies and casualties returning from war zones.\n\nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display at the Missing Soldiers Office from March 1\, 2018 until May 19\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 6:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Reservations Coordinator Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864.\n\nThe exhibit restages the original photographic images\, allowing visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago. Display prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition Library of Congress digital files. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended.\n\nVisitors will explore how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. “The Dead of Antietam” exhibition at the Missing Soldiers Office was created by Bob Kozak.\n\nGardner’s studio was also an integral part of Clara Barton’s everyday life during the Civil War.

SUMMARY:Clara Jones: A Forgotten Civil War Nurse
DESCRIPTION:Discover the story of Clara Jones\, a full-time teacher whose remarkable wartime experiences included assisting the wounded aboard a hospital ship\, and at hospitals in Alexandria\, Virginia\, and at Gettysburg\, Pennsylvania. \n \nHistorian John Lustrea will tell the story of forgotten Civil War nurse Clara Jones at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum on January 27 at 11 AM. \nSince entering the public record in 2003 when Clara Jones’ letters were donated to the museum\, very few have read them. They tell an incredible tale of sacrifice and compassion. Jones was an unmarried 28 year old single woman when the Civil War broke out. While she wanted desperately to rush to the front to comfort sick and wounded soldiers\, she needed the pay of her full-time teaching job to support herself. That did not stop her from traveling to the front on school breaks of any length. Come hear about her amazing efforts. \nJohn Lustrea is the blog editor and website manager at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. He received his MA in Public History from the University of South Carolina\, Columbia. John spent four summers working at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park as a seasonal ranger.

SUMMARY:A Civil Life in an Uncivil Time
DESCRIPTION:In October 1862\, Julia Wilbur traveled alone from Rochester\, New York\, with the well-intentioned\, but ill-formed idea to help African Americans escaping slavery by crossing into Union controlled areas. She ended up in Alexandria\, Virginia\, where she worked closely with Harriet Jacobs and against the male powers-that-be. \nJoin us at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on Thursday\, December 14 at 6 PM as author Paula Tarnapol Whitacre discusses her research into the Civil War experiences of Julia Wilbur. \nA Civil Life in an Uncivil Time: Julia Wilbur’s Struggle for Purpose is the first biography about this unheralded\, but remarkable woman. Using Wilbur’s diaries and other primary sources\, Whitacre traces how Wilbur took this bold step and what she accomplished when she came south. After the war and until her death in 1895\, Wilbur lived in Washington\, following in the footsteps of Clara Barton (whom she knew) by working in the Patent Office and fighting for women’s rights. \nWhitacre is a writer and editor who has lived in Alexandria since the mid-1980s. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University\, she worked at The Washington Post and as a Foreign Service Officer earlier in her career. She is on the boards of Friends of Alexandria Archaeology and the Civil War Roundtable of Washington\, DC. \nThis is a pay-what-you-please event. \nPre-Register Now

SUMMARY:Cut It Off! A Halloween Amputation Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Join the Obscura Society as we get into the Halloween spirit and turn the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office into an impromptu operating theater! \nWe’ll watch a Civil War medical historian from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine amputate a gel leg using authentic 19th-century tools and techniques. The leg\, made from foam and simulated bone\, looks\, feels\, and even sounds (!) remarkably like the real thing. Inspired by the creepy (and fictional) Case of George Dedlow\, we’ll also discuss spiritualism and seances in the nineteenth century. \nMuseum staff will also bring some bone saws\, miné balls\, medical kits\, and other objects related to the history of amputation for us to look at. They will be on hand to answer your questions about surgery in the pre-antiseptic\, pre-antibiotic era. \nADDITIONAL DETAILS\n\nThe event costs $30. The event requires advance tickets only\, and all sales are final. There will be no refunds or exchanges. Buy your tickets here\nThis location is easily accessible via bus and Metro’s red\, yellow\, and green lines. For more information on getting to the museum\, click here.\nMetered street parking is available but can be extremely difficult to find. If you plan to drive\, please give yourself ample time to locate parking in the area around the Verizon Center.\nPhotographs are encouraged (but flash photography is not allowed).\nThis adventure is PG (it’s gonna be gory).\nA portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.\nShare photos on Twitter and Instagram with us @atlasobscura\, and @ClaraBartonMSO using the hashtag #ObscuraSociety!\n\nQUESTIONS?\nContact Ashley at ashley.bowen@atlasobscura.com.
