Summary
An enthusiastic audience learned about the medicinal benefits of several herbs, presented by the Civil War Herb Lady of Ohio.
Valerie Hamill, in character and costume, captured the interest of attendees by sharing interesting herbal tidbits as she passed samples around to touch and smell. After her presentation everyone was invited to make their own Tussie Mussie, a small bouquet of aromatic herbs, to take home.
