Throughout the day, visitors will meet costumed interpreters depicting medical experts of the period, including a traveling dentist and a phrenologist.
As home remedies were the most common cures, historical interpreters will also create poultices, teas, and other remedies from “The Family Nurse,” a 19th-century advice book written by Lydia Maria Child.
Plus, visitors will have a chance to view antique medical implements from Old Sturbridge Village’s collection and learn how they were used.
