About the event
Join us for a special event honoring the 160th anniversary of the closing of Grosvenor Branch Hospital, once a prominent Union Army medical facility in Alexandria during the Civil War. This event will showcase how the historic Lee-Fendall House Museum was confiscated until April 1865, recognizing the significance of the property and its role in treating over a thousand soldiers - many of whom tragically died within its walls.
In conjunction with the 250th anniversary celebration of United States Army medicine, this event serves as both a remembrance and a reflection on the resilience of those who lived, fought, and died during this pivotal time in American history. Come commemorate the lives lost and learn more about the history of Civil War medicine at this moving event.
