Hessian Barracks

A hands-on children's museum with folks in period costume and "rural activities"

As it is the national museum, it's big, encompassing several locations, as well as a big presence at Antietam National Battlefield. The exhibits demonstrate how medicine was practiced during the Civil War which was a lesson in patient endurance, as well as track the leaps in the development of medicine during those times.
