# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Plagues and Pestilence Walking Tour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 10 Oct, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 10 Oct, 2025 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: In the early 1800s West Chester billed itself as an elegant and healthful place, but the reality was very different. Words like cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, rabies, and smallpox struck fear into the heart of every West Cestrian, especially those with small children. Treatments were almost worse than the diseases--bloodletting, blistering, and mercury were all part of the early medicinal arsenal. This tour will explore how diseases impacted families, how they changed burial practices, and how the borough's medical and scientific minds worked to overcome the King of All Fears--Death.

(If you attended the 2024 version of this tour, 2025's will feature a slightly different route and cover slightly different diseases.)

This walking tour will last approximately 90-100 minutes and covers 1.5 miles. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before scheduled start time to check in. Though we will be staying predominantly on sidewalks, the terrain may be uneven in places. Subject matter may not be appropriate for younger audiences; use parental discretion.

Tickets are $16.00 per person (members receive a 20% discount off of the listed ticket price.) Ticket fees benefit the mission of the Chester County History Center and are nonrefundable. Event is rain or shine. Group sizes are small, and tour times are likely to sell out.
