Numerous artifacts in the cabinets illustrate the type of equipment used by doctors a century ago. | |

The Exhibit highlights include pestilent diseases such as small pox, influenza, polio and tuberculosis cases that struck down early 20th century patients. Unusual accidents, unique in many cases to our remote wilderness, are illustrated with photographs and poignant stories. |
