Visit the Pry House

The Pry House Field Hospital Museum occupies the historic Philip Pry Farm on Antietam National Battlefield and enables the visitor to experience the Battle of Antietam and a range of historically-based programs and activities.  A field hospital exhibit in the house and barn help visitors discover the early concepts of emergency medical care and evacuation, and the ways the war affected the community surrounding the battlefield.  See our hours below for walk-in tours of the Pry House.
