History and Trades: Meet the Herbalist
The herbalist is in! The herbalist grows and uses herbs and spices to cure common ailments, to reduce discomfort, and to season foods.

Our herbalist will provide a look at her typical daily responsibilities and explain how she works in cooperation with the local doctor in a small southern community in the early 1800's.
