Frederick, Maryland has got many museums to offer an interesting menu for the lovers of American history. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine (www.civilwarmed.org) is one such unique museum displaying the real conditions under which the wounded were operated and treated during those difficult years.

The Barbara Fritchie House and Museum honors this interesting woman who supposedly challenged the mercurial Stonewall Jackson with “shoot if you must, this old gray head, but spare your country's flag.” Her reconstructed home now welcomes visitors as a museum.

Beatty-Cramer Architectural Museum has a truly unique place in American history. The building of this museum on 9010 Liberty Road, was there at its current spot when the Frederick Country was founded back in 1748! The architectural connoisseurs will find plenty to admire in the way it was built including its wooden frame and interesting brick work.

The Children's Museum of Rose Hill Manor Park is another must-see spot for museum goers. Its exhibits include a manor house preserved in its 1790s condition (www.rosehillmuseum.com) and a Carriage Museum. Every year the museum hosts an “Annual Civil War Encampment” that is worth seeing.

And of course when in Frederick you have to pay a visit to the Monocacy National Battlefield. The battle fought there on July 9, 1864 went down into the history books as the fight that “saved Washington DC.” Although the Confederate General Jubal Early has won the Monocacy battle, he was held at Frederick just long enough to set up an effective defense perimeter around Washington and thus save the city from falling into Confederate hands.
