The Pry House Field Hospital Museum is proud to present this special exhibition every Saturday, from June 1 through October 26. “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862 a few miles from the Pry House. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 160 years ago as the Civil War raged. Display prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. To enhance the visitor’s experience, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras, in the way they were originally intended.
This exhibit is free with admission.
