SUMMARY:Civil War Medicine in Washington
DESCRIPTION:Washington’s Civil War hospitals played host to a wide range of characters from President Abraham Lincoln to Walt Whitman. \nBuildings of Armory Square Hospital with the Capitol in the background. Courtesy of the Library of Congress \nAs the Civil War roared to life in April 1861\, Washington was a city completely unprepared for war. With thousands of soldiers descending on the Union capital\, minimal defensive fortifications\, housing\, and other vital military amenities became a major problem. But by the summer of 1861\, the lack of large hospitals pushed Washington into near crisis. With battles and campaigns occurring nearby on an almost daily basis\, the city needed its first hospital system. \nOn Thursday\, May 30 at 6 PM\, public historian Jake Wynn will discuss the fascinating role played by Washington’s military hospitals in the Civil War. Tens of thousands of wounded and sick soldiers were cared for in hospitals established across the District of Columbia. From the National Mall\, to Georgetown\, and dotting the hills north of the city\, these medical facilities became an integral part of war-time Washington and played host to a wide range of characters from President Abraham Lincoln to Walt Whitman\, from Louisa May Alcott to Clara Barton. \nThe medicine practiced in these hospitals was not the butchery often credited to Civil War medicine. Instead\, Washington’s hospitals hosted some of the most skilled surgeons in the world\, utilizing new techniques and ensuring that countless lives were saved. This talk will explore the establishment of the hospitals\, the men and women who worked in them\, the patients treated within their walls\, and the hospital system’s impact on Washington. \nThis is a pay-what-you-please presentation. This event is part of the Walt Whitman 200 Festival\, sponsored by HumanitiesDC. The festival runs from May 23 – June 3\, 2019. \nJake Wynn is the Director of Interpretation at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office.

SUMMARY:James A. Garfield and the First Decoration Day - May 30\, 1868
DESCRIPTION:Discover the origin of Memorial Day in the United States and the role played by future president James Garfield \n James Garfield during the Civil War \nOn Saturday May 18 at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, join the Site Manager of James A. Garfield National Historic Site Todd Arrington as he discusses the first Memorial Day. \nThe holiday we now call Memorial Day was founded after the Civil War and known initially as Decoration Day. The first national Decoration Day ceremony took place in Arlington National Cemetery on May 30\, 1868. The keynote speaker that day was a young Ohio congressman and former Union general named James A. Garfield. In the shadow of the home once inhabited by Robert E. Lee\, Garfield memorialized the Northern war dead but also reminded everyone what the war had truly been about\, discussing slavery\, freedom\, civil rights\, and more. This presentation will explore the origins of Decoration Day but also the themes on which future President James A. Garfield spoke on that first Decoration Day and their lasting importance. \nThe presentation begins at 11 AM on May 18 at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum. The presentation will be pay-what-you-please. \nTodd Arrington is the Site Manager of James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor\, Ohio. As a career National Park Service historian and park ranger\, he has also worked at Homestead National Monument of America in Nebraska and Gettysburg National Historic Site & Eisenhower National Historic Site\, both in Pennsylvania. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army and holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. \nArrington has been published many times on subjects related to the American Civil War and westward expansion. His essay “Industry and Economy during the Civil War” was published in The Civil War Remembered\, the National Park Service’s official handbook commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. He writes and edits for the popular history blogs We’re History and Emerging Civil War\, and his book ‘The Triumphs of Liberty and Law’: The Presidential Election of 1880 will be published later this year by the University Press of Kansas. In discussing relevant history and National Park Service news and events\, he has spoken at dozens of academic conferences and appeared on PBS\, C-SPAN\, numerous television and radio news programs\, Radio Free Europe\, and National Public Radio. He appeared in the PBS American Experience documentary Murder of a President about James A. Garfield in 2016. \nArrington has taught history and humanities courses at several northeast Ohio colleges\, including Lake Erie College\, John Carroll University\, Lorain County Community College\, and Lakeland Community College. He is a member of the Organization of American Historians and the Northeast Ohio Civil War Round Table.

SUMMARY:"Healthcare on the Frontlines" - Maryland International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:See the premier of “Healthcare on the Frontlines” – a documentary film connecting the response to the healthcare crisis of the Civil War to today. \n“Heathcare on the Frontlines” documentary cover image \nHow are individuals to respond in the face of overwhelming moments of crisis? That’s one of the many questions examined by “Healthcare on the Frontlines\,” a documentary by Coronation Media making its debut at the Maryland International Film Festival in Hagerstown\, MD on March 31 at 11 AM. The film compares the work of “Mission of Mercy\,” an organization based in Frederick that provides free healthcare to the community\, with the work of Clara Barton during and after the Civil War. \nThe film was made in partnership with the National Museum of Civil War Medicine\, and the Delaplaine Foundation. It extensively compares the actions of Clara Barton with the work of Mission of Mercy and finds surprising parallels between them. Despite a century and a half in time\, the needs of vulnerable Americans have not changed significantly. By looking to the past\, the film offers some unexpected lessons for the present. \nThe film will begin playing at 11:00 AM at the Maryland Theater in Hagerstown. Tickets are $8 per person. In addition to single movie tickets\, day passes and weekend passes are available. \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS TO HEALTHCARE ON THE FRONTLINES \nCLICK HERE TO SEE WEEKEND PASS DEALS

SUMMARY:Forensic and Archaeological Investigation of Civil War Military Remains
DESCRIPTION:*Registration for this event is now full.* \nRenowned forensic anthropologist Dr. Douglas Owsley will discuss his work and how he’s helped to reveal the stories of those who fought in the Civil War. \n \nJoin us at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum on Thursday\, February 28\, 2019 at 6 PM as Dr. Douglas Owsley discusses his work with the remains of Civil War soldiers. Dr. Owsley recently participated in the recovery of the remains of two Union soldiers at Manassas National Military Park in Virginia. \nOver the past three decades\, Smithsonian forensic anthropologists have examined the skeletons of several hundred soldiers. Unmarked military burials have been disturbed by construction projects\, exposed by natural processes such as erosion or animal burrowing\, and found by relic hunters using metal detectors. Under specific circumstances\, military burials have been recovered and evaluated through archaeological investigations \nThis presentation will demonstrate how a forensic investigative process contributes to American military history. \nThis is a “pay-what-you-please” program. Pre-registration is required. \nRegister Here\nAbout the speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDouglas W. Owsley\, Division Head for Physical Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington\, D.C.\, is considered one of the foremost forensic anthropologists at work today. He has identified remains from news-making crime scenes\, mass disasters\, and war zones. Owsley received his B.S. degree in Zoology from the University of Wyoming and his Ph.D. in Physical Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. Doug is fascinated with the wealth of information that can be recovered by studying the human skeleton – not just the cause of death\, but also details about the life of a person. In addition to forensic casework\, he conducts extensive research on historic and prehistoric populations from North America. These include the remains of 17th-century colonists\, Civil War soldiers\, and ancient Americans – such as the nearly 9\,000 year-old Kennewick Man. Highlights of his work at Jamestown and Historic St. Mary’s City were featured in an exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History entitled Written in Bone: Forensic Files of the 17th-Century Chesapeake (2009-2014).

It is estimated that he examined more than 800 men. \nDuring 1862 – 1863\, Dr. Stonestreet served with the U.S. Army as an Acting Assistant Surgeon (Contract Surgeon). During late 1862 and early 1863\, he treated the living wounded after the Battle of Antietam in a temporary Army General Hospital\, in Rockville\, while they were enroute from Frederick\, MD to long term care in new Army pavilion style\, state-of-the-art\, hospitals in Washington\, DC\, and in Alexandria\, VA. During the first half of 1863\, Dr. Stonestreet attended the ill soldiers of the 6th Michigan Cavalry Regiment prior to their involvement in the Battle of Gettysburg. \nDr. Stonestreet’s life\, his medical training\, practice\, and Army service paralleled those of fictitious Dr. Jed Foster of the PBS 2016 special Civil War series Mercy Street\, or was it the other way around? These similarities will be discussed\, along with the details of Dr. Stonestreet’s life and service in a PowerPoint slide lecture using many photos from the Civil War and 19th century eras. Clarence also will discuss his 20th century experience serving in a U.S. Army Civil War pavilion style hospital during the Vietnam era. There were many such Army hospitals in the U.S. and other countries for more than 100 years after the Civil War. \nThe presentation will take place on December 6 at 6:00 PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum. It will be a “pay-what-you-please” presentation. \nClarence Hickey is a Master Docent and reenactor with the Montgomery County Historical Society\, MD\, and its Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine. Clarence holds a BS degree in biology and an MS degree in marine biology. During the Vietnam War era\, Clarence was drafted into the U.S. Army Medical Service (AMEDS) in 1966. He served from 1966 – 1968 as a medical laboratory specialist\, blood banking technician\, and general hospital medic at Fort Campbell\, KY\, stateside home of the 101st Airborne Division. The U.S. Army Hospital\, Fort Campbell\, was built in 1942 and was of the pavilion style design (or cantonment style design) following those built and operated during the Civil War. Clarence is the author of four books\, one of which is Dr. Stonestreet’s award winning biography\, Send for the Doctor\, published in 2009 by Montgomery County Historical Society. Clarence offers historical programs about Dr. Stonestreet in first person\, reenactments with a life-sized mannequin patient\, lectures\, PowerPoint slide shows\, and through written articles and his book. Clarence is a member of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and the Society of Civil War Surgeons. In 2014\, Clarence was certified as a Master Docent by the Frederick Historic Sites Consortium. Clarence is a retired federal civil servant in environmental sciences and has served as a volunteer interpretive nature guide.

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) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. 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. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \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 until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of 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. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

SUMMARY:Cut It Off! An Amputation Demonstration at the Missing Soldiers Office
DESCRIPTION:The Missing Soldiers Office is partnering with Atlas Obscura to explore the history of amputations and the American Civil War.  \n \nJake Wynn\, a Civil War medical historian from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine\, will demonstrate Civil War era amputation techniques using a gel leg using authentic 19th-century tools. The leg\, made from a forensic gel and simulated bone\, looks\, feels\, and even sounds remarkably like the real thing. \nMuseum staff will also bring some bone saws\, Minié balls\, medical kits and other objects related to the history of amputation for us to view. They will be on hand to answer your questions about surgery in the pre-antiseptic\, pre-antibiotic era in Washington’s Civil War hospitals. \nWynn will also discuss the medical treatment administered to the tens of thousands of refugees\, many of whom were escaping slavery\, who arrived in Washington during the Civil War. They were housed in several “contraband camps” in the vicinity of the nation’s capital and the medical care they received differed significantly from that given to wounded and sick soldiers. \nOur program will also include a brief tour of the Missing Soldiers Office and the story of how the building was saved from destruction in the 1990s—a tale that has its own ghostly climax. \nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\nPhotographs are encouraged\, but flash photography is not allowed.\nThis event is easily accessible via public transportation. It’s a three-minute walk from the Archives/Navy Memorial station on Metro’s yellow line and a nine-minute walk from Metro Center station on the red\, orange\, blue\, and silver lines.\nFor those choosing to drive\, metered 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 Capital One Arena.\nWhile not bloody\, this event does focus on a gory and violent subject with a realistic simulation. We recommend none under the age of 13 attend this event. \nGet Your Tickets Here

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) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. 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. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \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 until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of 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. \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) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. 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. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \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 until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of 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. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.
