Presentation by Dr. Charles E. Driscoll: “John Jay Terrell, MD: Civil War Doctor to Man and Horse”

 June 8 @ 2:30 pm | Free

Join us for an informative program as Dr. Charles E. Driscoll shares Dr. John Jay Terrell’s story. Dr. Terrell was a man of intelligence and compassion who cared for his patients with Christian brotherly love. He was the type of personal physician that is heroically portrayed in stories and film — the type we would all like to have caring for us. He yearned to be at the forefront of medical science, yet he possessed a humility that kept him dedicated to a rural medical practice.

Light refreshments will follow the presentation.

This program is sponsored by the Amherst County Museum and Historical Society, Amherst County, and the Town of Amherst.
