During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Marquette County residents eagerly awaited the arrival of various traveling medicine shows. The shows consisted of free musical performances and humorous skits, plus sales pitches for whatever medicine the self-proclaimed “doctor” was selling. This presentation by local history buff Bill Van Kosky will take us back to the golden age of quackery, when medical science was floundering and anyone could legally put anything in a bottle and say that it would cure all ills of man or beast. This daytime SSS program includes an antique medical equipment display by Chip Truscon, door prizes, and complimentary Dead River Coffee.
Wednesday, November 5, 1:30 p.m. All ages welcome. Free program.
