The
Grafton Historical Society will present the Patent Medicine Show, a
lighthearted program by author and columnist, Sally Cragin, on a number of interesting New England characters and “miracle
cures” of yesteryear. The
program will take place Sunday, January 12 at 2 p.m. (with a snow date the
following Sunday, January 19) at the South Grafton Community House.
“We
invite you to return with us to an earlier era, as Sally Cragin brings to life figures
from the health and wellness movement including Lydia Pinkham and Fannie
Farmer,” said Linda Casey, Grafton Historical Society President. “Adding to the
fun, the audience will get a hands-on look at some
of the elixirs, tonics, and other related items from that time period.”
