Of special interest were exhibits the Museum had on 19th-century mourning practices and Civil War embalming.
Here are photos of exhibits on:
1) Civil War embalming, featuring the story of Dr. Thomas Holmes
(Note: I will have more on Dr. Holmes in my forthcoming July 2011 "Medical Department" column in Civil War News...stay tuned!)
