CAMP JACKSON: THE TIPPING POINT
DATE: April 29 – May 1
TIMES: Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Sunday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
PLACE: Jefferson Barracks Park
Visit Jefferson Barracks and experience the events that took place during the Missouri Volunteer Militia's encampment known as Camp Jackson in early May, 1861.
On Friday and Saturday, be transported through time to the outskirts of St. Louis in 1861. See re-enactors depict the events and daily routines in the state-sanctioned camp of the Missouri State Guard at Lindell Groves. Take a short walk to the opposing pro-union and mostly German immigrant camp of pro-Union Home Guards at the St. Louis Arsenal, who sought to keep Missouri in the Union and the Arsenal out of Southern hands.
The event will end on Sunday with a reenactment of an early war battle that occurred during the summer of 1861.
There will be a variety of demonstrations including Civil War era music, artillery and musket firing; and drill demonstrations as well as a reenactment of the incident that proved to be the tipping point that set Missouri down a violent, turbulent path in the American Civil War. Military camps will be open to the public and tours will be available for school groups and public alike.
Available for purchase will be period merchandise from a variety of “sutlers” and an assortment of food vendors.
Camp Jackson proved to be the tipping point, and the entire state was then embroiled in four grueling years of civil war. Missouri had the third highest number of Civil War battles and skirmishes (after Virginia and Tennessee).

MEDICINE IN THE TIME OF THE CIVIL WAR
PLACE: Saint Louis Science Center
DATES: Opens July 2, 2011 (closing date has not been determined)
COST: Free
The Civil War was fought at a time when the practice of medicine was primitive compared to today’s standards. Little was known about what caused disease; there was minimal training for doctors; and some surgical procedures were left over from the Middle Ages. During the four-year conflict more than three million men fought in the war and approximately 620,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died. Many soldiers died from a bullet on the battlefield, but disease and wounds claimed even more lives than battlefield casualties.
Throughout the war both the North and South worked to improve medical care for their soldiers and through the experience gained valuable knowledge. The lessons learned in the ramshackle field hospitals all over the country contributed to advances in medicine. Doctors became better at surgery; the implementation of medical records was established; the service of female nurses in the hospitals elevated the importance of women in medicine; and the medical community gained a greater understanding of the relationship between cleanliness and disease.
To mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the Saint Louis Science Center has produced an abbreviated exhibit that will give the visitor a glimpse into the medicine and technology of the Civil War. Drawing from the Science Center’s Collections, the exhibit features authentic medical objects from the mid- to late-1800s. The exhibit will feature a model of a Civil War-era field hospital supplied with both authentic objects and reproductions. This field hospital will give visitors the opportunity to discover what life was like for doctors and wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Period objects on display include a bullet extractor, an amputation kit, a field microscope, a stereoscope and historical photographs. Visitors will also have an opportunity to compare and contrast contemporary and Civil War-era medical instruments and objects. Interactive displays will allow the visitor to research “Mystery Medical Objects” and look through a Civil War stereoscope.
DIRECTIONS:Take I-64 west to the Kingshighway North / South exit. Turn left at S Kingshighway Blvd. Make a right on Oakland Avenue. The Science Center is on your left.
WE NEED YOUR HISTORY. Exhibition developers need help to tell St. Louis’ Civil War story. If you had a relative that served as a doctor, surgeon or nurse during the war or if you have medical or other objects or photographs from the period, please contact Debra McStay.
