strong medicine
From sweat lodges to snake oil, leeches to amputation saws, Strong Medicine brings High Desert frontier remedies to life. Meet a Victorian doctor, visit his office where kids can perform “surgery,” and explore how folk remedies led the way to 19th-century medicine. Opens October 10.
Yuck! Cool! Fascinating! BUGS! Opens Sept. 26 at the Museum. From live scorpions and hairy tarantulas, to the swallowtail butterfly: discover the world of bugs!
living history
Step into the past…What better way to learn about early settlers than by lending a hand on our 1880 High Desert Homestead Ranch. But don't stop there. Our express agent, homesteaders, traveling schoolmarm and other living history characters have stories too.
