The world of Colonial and Early Republic medicine could sometimes be grim, gruesome, and bizarre, but the advancements made during the Age of Enlightenment paved the way for the medical miracles of today. Join us at the Moses Myers House for a fascinating look at the Myers family medical history and discover how they dealt with illness and injury in the nineteenth century.
About the Myers House:
The Myers House is significant as the most intact, best documented, and surviving, known Jewish residence in the United States of any period before 1800. Moses Myers, an early American entrepreneur, built the house to accommodate his growing family. Initially situated in a very rural setting, the federal-style house set a new standard of sophistication for the rapidly expanding City of Norfolk. It was passed down through five generations of the Myers family who lived in the house from 1795–1931.
