Our next free Family Day event will explore the history of medicine from medieval times to today on Sunday, March 13th from 1-4 PM. Visitors will learn about early medical practices and tools, traditional medicinal herbs, the role of wartime nurses, and what a visit to an 18th-century physician would have been like. The History Center’s regular exhibits, including the 18th-century White Path Cabin, will also be free to view!
Executive Director Glen Kyle adds, “with the remarkable capabilities of modern medicine, we sometimes think of healthcare in the past as comparatively very primitive; in some ways, of course, it was, but in other ways it could be surprisingly effective and sometimes bears amazing resemblances to what we have today. We’ll be exploring the differences AND the similarities at this exciting event.”
This free event is made possible by the Ada Mae Ivester Education Center.
