Proposed 2020 Exhibition

"Health, Healing & Addiction in 19th Century America"

"Health, Healing & Addiction in 19th Century America" will explore how families managed their health in the 19th century. It will investigate what history can teach us about the Germ Theory, technology, and the extraordinary breakthroughs that rocked the medical establishment leading to the birth of modern medicine. The exhibition will also bring to light unconventional treatments and the darker side of medicine such as addiction through the access of popular over-the-counter “remedies” promising pain relief and improved health.
