Our speaker is Art Wingo. Art is a certified guide through the US Park Service. He is posted at Chimborazo Hospital building each Friday to provide information and give tours of the facility. Once the value of hospitals was recognized Richmond became a hospital center due to the five railroads serving the city. It is my understanding that Chimborazo Hospital was advanced for the time and was able to save soldiers from the certain death if left in field units. Art is a member of the Longstreet SCV camp here in Richmond.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about Chimborazo Hospital.
