The Lee-Fendall House Museum & Garden is gearing up for a special event on April 5, 2025. They’re marking 160 years since the Grosvenor Branch Hospital closed its doors, shining a light on the property’s important role during the Civil War.
This historic site wasn’t just any building during the conflict—it was a Union Army hospital where over a thousand soldiers received treatment. Sadly, many didn’t make it out alive. The event coincides with the U.S. Army medicine’s 250th anniversary, giving visitors a chance to learn about medical practices from the Civil War era.
