Life on the Frontier: Medicine Making DETAILS
From the organizer:
PEOPLE IN THE 1830S GOT SICK, just like we do today, but they had very different ways of treating illness. Before modern medicine, people had to rely on natural ingredients like cinnamon and willow bark to cure illnesses.
Learn more about historic medicine and try making your own by grinding cinnamon bark in a mortar and pestle at our September life on the frontier program.
