Our tour guides at the Exchange Hotel shared a wealth of information. We stayed longer than our teacher had planned, but eventually hunger called us and we went outside for a picnic lunch.Upstairs the museum has rooms set up as a military hospital, which it was used for during the Civil War. This time I didn't spend much time in the surgery exhibit. I recalled being sickened by it when I was there years ago (which is a bit embarrassing since my great-grandfather was a doctor during the Civil War).
