Richmond National Battlefield Park Headquarters | Chimborazo Medical Museum

Chimborazo Hospital, located on Chimborazo Hill in Richmond, Virginia, was one of the largest and most sophisticated medical facilities in the Confederacy during the Civil War. Established in October 1861, it served as a convalescent hospital, treating thousands of soldiers, primarily for sickness rather than wounds, throughout its operation until April 1865. Today, the site is part of Richmond National Battlefield Park, where visitors can explore the Chimborazo Medical Museum. The museum provides insights into the hospital's history, the practice of medicine during the 1860s, and the broader context of Civil War medical care in Richmond. Generated from the website
