Did you ever wonder if it was safe to take an herbal remedy? Imagine living in 18th-century Windsor at a time when there were no antibiotics, corner drug stores, or medical regulations, and you had to decide what was safe for your children and family. Join horticulturist and storyteller Gordon Kenneson on Saturday, August 24 from 10 to 11:30 AM at Windsor Historical Society for To Cure or to Kill: Medicines of the 18th Century. Kenneson will provide an always entertaining exploration of early herbal remedies, and a fascinating discussion of the life-giving and fatal qualities of these plant-based medicines!
This popular program will be held rain or shine. Admission is $10. Advanced registration is encouraged at windsorhistoricalsociety.org or 860-688-3813. |
