Tuesday, May 18, 2021 - 7:00pm

Are you a history buff, interested in all things medical, curious about public health initiatives or diseases long before COVID-19? We’ll take a virtual walk through the museum and learn how selected artifacts from the museum’s collection played a significant role to treat and mitigate disease before the discovery of vaccinations and antibiotics.

The Public Health Museum is an independent 501(c)3 organization, housed in the historic Richard Morris building (also known as the Old Administration Building)  of Tewksbury Hospital in Massachusetts. The Museum strives to preserve artifacts and records of our nation’s history in public health and serve as a resource to the community to educate and promote public health initiatives that address current health issues.

This program is hosted by Memorial Hall Library in partnership with Andover Elder Services, Tewksbury Public Library and Billerica Public Library.
