Description
Medical treatment during the Civil War was sometimes helpful, often misunderstood, and in many cases the cure was worse than the disease!
Join us for a short interpretive program about folk remedies and the care of Civil War soldiers and learn how heirloom plants and herbs were useful for 19th century medicine.
