Sixteenth Annual Conference on
Civil War Medicine, October 3-5, 2008
Baltimore, MD

 The Museum staff is very excited to announce our 2008 Annual Conference on Civil War Medicine. The hotel accommodations are among the best we have ever seen. The Baltimore location boasts some spectacular attractions such as the USS Constellation, dining at the Inner Harbor, historic Fells Point, the Walters Art Museum, the Frederick Douglass Museum, the Flag House where the Star Spangled Banner was sewn and much more.

We are also bursting at the seams with new and unique lectures on Civil War medicine, a Saturday bus tour that is still being developed with probable visits to Fort McHenry, President Station, Federal Hill, Civil War hospital sites and cemeteries.

This year’s conference hotel is the Sheraton Baltimore North Hotel, named “best in class” for overall guest satisfaction in 2006 and #5 in North America. Connected by a skywalk to the largest mall in Baltimore County, it is within 15 minutes of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Oriole Park at Camden Yards and Ravens Stadium.

Bring your families and enjoy all of the historic sites, dining, site-seeing and shopping opportunities and while you are at it, eat some of Maryland’s famous crab cakes. This is going to be a conference to remember!

Conference brochures will be available in May and will be mailed to all NMCWM members. If you have questions, please contact Karen Thomassen at Museum@civilwarmed.org or call 301-695-1864.
