Road to Recovery: An Examination of 18th Century Medicine

Patrick Henry would survive broken bones, an inoculation for smallpox and malaria over the course of his lifetime. Would you have?

Join guest Interpreter Dr. William Hartland on Saturday, August 16th, as he shares the truly scary world of medicine in the 18th century. After the presentation, Scotchtown staff will lead you on a guided tour through the manor house where Henry, his family and enslaved lived and worked in the years leading up to the revolution. This program runs 2 hours in length and is being offered at 11am and 1pm. Recommended for ages 10 and above.
