New in 2023, Crown Hill is offering a speaker series that will cover various topics related to Nature and Historic Preservation.

<p>Ever read an obituary from the 1800s and saw they died from “consumption” or “grippe,” or even worse “Horrors.”  These old-fashioned names for diseases and ailments can tell us a lot about our ancestors, but you just need to know what those diseases were.  The Indiana Medical History Museum’s Executive Director, Sarah Halter will take us through some of the most common names, help you interpret those names, and talk about what that might have meant for Hoosiers.</p>
