19th Century Nursing and More

Drawing on three decades of experience as a registered nurse and a lifelong interest in the American Civil War, Noel Kline explores the injuries and lethality of 19th-century warfare. His presentation examines period medical practices, the religious doctrine of “God’s Will,” and features behind-the-scenes photographs of Seminary Ridge Museum exhibits taken during their initial installation.

Through programs such as this, Seminary Ridge Museum advances its mission by integrating education, preservation, innovation, and celebration into every visitor experience, connecting audiences to the human stories and enduring legacy of Seminary Ridge and the Battle of Gettysburg.
