More than 230 Daughters of Charity, Catholic sisters, served as nurses during the American Civil War. Gettysburg’s close proximity to Emmitsburg, Maryland, about 10 miles, allowed the Daughters of Charity to step into the spotlight and leave a lasting mark on the town. Please join us for Women’s History Month as we learn about the only trained nurses at the start of the Civil War.
