Participants will explore seventeenth-century medical beliefs and practices. They will learn how medicinal herbs were used by the Powhatan Indians and the English Colonists over 400 years ago in Virginia. Discover what plants and techniques were brought with the English from home, and what was already being practiced by the Powhatans, and explore the similarities and differences between their practices. Finish off the day making herbal creations to take home with you!This program takes place in both our Powhatan Indian village and on the English side of our site.
