Step back in time with this hands-on activity exploring the fascinating world of 18th century herbs and home remedies!

Stop by the Senate House grounds on Friday, August 1, from 2:00pm-4:00pm, to learn how early Americans used common garden herbs for healing and everyday health, long before modern medicine. Visitors will smell touch and learn about herbs like lavender, mint, rosemary and chamomile – plants that were often used in colonial kitchens and apothecaries. This family friendly drop-in activity is free and weather dependent.
