We are closed for the season as we take time to refresh our spaces, reorganize collections, and prepare for an exciting spring reopening. While our buildings are closed, our work continues—watch for ongoing events, including our popular Third Thursday programs.
FEB THIRD THURSDAY: Gutbusters – The Development of Civil War Ambulances
Before the Civil War, ambulances were rarely used in the U.S., but the war sparked major innovation in their development and use by both the Union and Confederate armies. This talk explores Civil War ambulance systems and the different models created between 1861–1865, led by Dana Shoaf of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
