National Museum of Civil War Medicine finds good fit in south Frederick
Four busloads of Civil War buffs toured the temporarily relocated museum on Adventist Drive in Frederick on opening day. The site, a former Seventh-day Adventist Church building, draws praise for sharp exhibits and strong potential as part of a planned Welcome Center by the Tourism Council of Frederick County with state endorsement and Heritage Preservation funding. The venture leverages city county collaboration, with shuttle service from the 12 acre site to downtown attractions and the renovated museum. The $4 million purchase price for the site is viewed as a worthwhile investment amid hopes for broader regional tourism impacts.

Frederick city officials gave no estimated completion date for the new one million gallon water tank on East South Street as painters from PAINTERS who'd been on the job continue work. Police recovered the car of substitute Elm Street School teacher Maxine Gosnell, stolen May 1, and identified license plates belonged to Judge Edward S. Delaplaine, who was unaware they were stolen. Mayor Cloyde Culler appointed Jerome Offutt to succeed Charles Price on the McCurdy Field Commission, with other members named. A seedling from the Wye Oak, in memory of the late Congressman Goodloe E. Byron, was dedicated at the South Mountain Visitor Center, accepted by Byron's widow Beverly Byron. U.S. Fire Administration officials moved into their Emmitsburg site earlier than planned. Governor Harry Hughes spoke at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Frederick. The Frederick Towne Players staged Here Lies Jeremy Troy at the Weinberg Center. Rita Reed Merchant was among the cast.
