This exhibit and it's accompanying cell phone tour describes the medicinal use of plants in field hospitals, home surgeries and on the battlefield during the Civil War. Since that time the pharmaceutical industry began to grow aand chemical synthetics replaced garden grown plants. Historically, the field of medicine had been allied with the discipline of botany and there is now a resurgence of interest in plants as medicine and is now part of medical school curriculum.
