Edwin Walker, from Kennebunk, Maine, kept a diary that is now in the collections of the Maine Historical Society. In the Brick Store Museum's 2016 exhibition, "To Your Health: Examining the History of Modern Medicine," we focus on Edwin's experiences in 1874 and 1875, a time in which he lost both of his daughters within a year of each other to tuberculosis.
This film and narration are featured in the exhibition, which covers medical treatment and disease between the late 18th through early 20th Centuries. To learn more, visit www.brickstoremuseum.org.
