Press release
The Crawford Park District invites you to our quarterly history program on Saturday, July 23rd 2016 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Lowe-Volk Nature Center.
Local communities usually had one or more drug stores. Early treatments relied on herbal cures with the pharmacist often mixing a special product. Many premixed patent medicines made claims as being medical panaceas. Drug stores with a soda fountain became regular meeting places for area residents.
Bring your memories and memorabilia to share on this interesting topic. Joe Blum, of the New Washington Historical Society, will have some local pharmacy bottles to share. Plan to attend!
Lowe-Volk Park is located 3 miles north of US Route 30. For more information contact the Crawford Park District office at 419-683-9000.
