Wonder what they did for medicine back in the 1840's? Check out the Lyon's Drug an Variety store.
Do you have an upset stomach or tired of fighting mosquitoes? Stop by the "Summer Kitchen" (summer months only) behind the old Homestead and ask the volunteer for some mint leaves. Chewing the mint leaves will help settle your stomach and rubbing the mint leaves on your skin will ward off mosquitoes.
Do you have a sore throat or feel a cold coming on? Stop by the Red Brick Store and pick up a bag of Horehound candy. Horehound was an herb used by Native Americans and pioneers to treat colds and sore throat.
And of course if all else fails, you can check out Baxter's Vineyards and Winery. But remember, for MEDICINAL PURPOSES ONLY! :-)
