Living History Museum

‌Established in 1999, the museum displays hundreds of historic items, including:

• a 19th-century nurse’s uniform
• early 20th century textbooks and medical apparatus
• wartime letters and photographs collected by nurses serving in the military.

It also features video and audio histories of nurses recounting stories from previous generations. Together, the exhibits in the museum weave an insightful tapestry of the nursing profession – with the University of Maryland School of Nursing serving as its common thread.
