Indiana Medical History
Tour Description
The history of medicine is a popular branch of scientific history and that is very true in the State of Indiana. Across much of the 19th and 20th centuries, several prominent Hoosiers took part in significant movements and practices in the medical field in an effort to make their neighbors better. Fortunately, quite a few of the sites where these people did their works still exist throughout the state.
