Made of Stone
The Mercer Museum
in Doylestown, PA is built entirely of concrete.
Henry C. Mercer
was keenly interested in preventing the loss
of his collections to fire which made concrete
his building material of choice.
The museum is full of wonderful nooks and crannies.
I just LOVE it.
I have spent much time getting to know the late Henry C. Mercer
in preparation for an article I am writing.
So you'll be seeing more of his life and collections...
If you'd like to see his Cigar Advertising Collection
on my other blog, click here.
Eventually I will have museum photos here.
But as of this post, I am still working on that.

The Medicine Cabinet
I visited Hope Lodge in Ft. Washington, PA
for their annual Revolutionary War Encampment.
These bottles belonged to the field doctor who said
that the doctors actually received more training
and were therefore more respected than the surgeons.
Scary if you needed surgery!
