Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society's Museum of Medical History

Before or after your meal at Dos Coyotes from noon - 8 p.m., at 6450 Folsom Blvd (Folsom and 65th), stop by the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society's Museum of Medical History!  The Museum of Medical History showcases artifacts including a working iron lung, medical and dental equipment from years gone by, Civil War amputation kits, quackery devices, patent medicines (including some with cocaine) and Chinese medicine. It is also home to an extensive library containing medical textbooks and journals dating back to the 1800s.  The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Lena has offered to turn on the iron lung before you take a self-guided tour.  Shifts are listed in 2 hour increments below to give participating members hours and to give the SMRC and Museum leadership an idea of when members plan to participate.  Your self-guided tour can be any length of time that works for you.  There is a large parking lot behind the museum.
