In honor of America's 250th, ACI hosted a workshop on Revolutionary War Medicine, led by Douglas Aumack, Resource Interpretive Specialist with the Arts Institute of Middlesex County's Department of Economic Development. The presentation explored the “medical” practices used to treat soldiers injured in battle and those suffering from illnesses such as fever and smallpox. Participants also had the opportunity to examine reproductions of 18th century instruments, medicines, and surgical tools.

Thank you to Douglas for sharing his knowledge and expertise! Also thank you to Helen Evans, Manager of Senior & Homebound Programming of the Arts Institute of Middlesex for arranging this event!
