From National Museum of Civil War Medicine:
The National Museum of Civil War Medicine houses a world-renowned collection of over 1,500 original artifacts relating to medical care in the American Civil War. Most of these historic objects have either been donated to the Museum or are on long-term loan from private collectors and other museums. Among the many artifacts currently on display are: surgical instruments used by Union and Confederate medical staff, various pharmaceutical bottles and containers, medical knapsacks and panniers, stretchers and litters, prosthetic devices, dental tools, a recruiting drum, Union and Confederate surgeons' frock coats, a hospital steward's uniform, a table used for amputations at a field hospital during the battle of Cedar Creek, a Union Army hospital flag that flew over the hospital at City Point, Virginia, and the only known surviving surgeon's tent from the Civil War.
