Reviews of Pry House Field Hospital Museum (Museum)

Beautiful piece of Antietam and medical history

Tammy Bash

Nice short visit at McClelland's headquarters during Antietam. Was a hospital after the battle. Just an FYI, if you are going to the barn, you need to enter it to the right from the parking lot. From the house you should try to enter from the back but it is pretty steep.

Cool little museum off the beaten path. Cool medical exhibits regarding Antietam and the Civil War.

Jim Michaels

McClellan's HQ, field hospital. Small museum but worth it.

Try to come here, and was really excited, was one of the highlights of our trip up here. It was near noon on Sunday (today, just now), nobody is here. Nobody to answer the phone. Gate was open to let people in but the house is locked up and nobody is there at all. Very disappointing.

Margaret Green

Awesome Civil War site!!

This was a great place to start our hike and research of the Battle at Antietam where general officers like MGen McClellan had to make the tough decisions on where to conduct his attacks. The Pry House has it's story and I recommend people make it a point to stop here.

Gerald Vanlandingham

Very nice history site

Connor Smith

Civil War medical history fans will enjoy the museum and Civil War history fans will enjoy the view McClellan had (or more appropriately did NOT have) at the Battle of Antietam.

John Mark Thompson

Worth visiting. Off the beaten path of the other well known phases of the Antietam battlefield. But gives you an idea of the limited view under which McClellan operated throughout the battle.

Susan Hall

Great period appropriate medicinal garden on site.

Paul Roberto

No one goes here, but it is an important part of the battlefield. McClellan's HQ with a view back to the battlefield. Lincoln was here! Military medical museum. Really great to complete the tour with this visit. If the park service develops a better tram or bus tour this place will get more traffic.

Rich Basher

A small museum built in a family's home that was forcibly used as a makeshift hospital for wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Most of the exhibits consist of written descriptions and stories. Notably, the exhibits explain that the Civil War was one of the first American wars where photographers of dead and severely injured soldiers were made available to the general public, which provided counter-images to the cleaned-up, artistic paintings of war that the public was accustomed to. The public could see photographs of the horrors of the aftermath of war, to know what war caused and resulted in. Overall, exhibits are good, and there museum itself is pleasant. Those with mobility challenges should know that the second floor with exhibits is only accessible by way of a staircase. In addition, the inclined gravel path between the small parking area and the museum entrance may be difficult for some with significant mobility issues. Allow 30 to 60 minutes in the museum.

Looked like a great place to visit, but was closed, so I can only give an average rating having not been inside.
