The Wabasha County Historical Society Museum in Reads Landing will celebrate opening weekend on Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17. Everyone is invited to a free presentation on Sunday, May 17, at 2 p.m. featuring a local author, Goran Pesic, as he shares "The Greatest Mysteries of Lake Pepin."

The annual Spring Clean Up Event will be held on Saturday, May 16th beginning at 8am – 12pm at the Old Athletic Field (306 Hiawatha Drive West). Please be prepared with exact cash or check for your items.

On Saturday, May 16th at 2pm, Sara Thielen will discuss “Medicine in Western Wisconsin during the Frontier Days” at Castlerock Museum in Alma, Wisconsin. The frontier days were dangerous times. Injuries from hunting and farming happened without cell phones to call for an ambulance. Without a pharmacy, there was no way to purchase medicine to bring down a child’s fever or soothe a cough. Doctors were in very short supply, if they existed at all in the area. So, what did the people who lived in the communities along the Mississippi River and the surrounding rural communities do when their lives were in danger? Sara Thielen is the Public Health nurse with Buffalo County Public Health. In her spare time, she reads and studies history. She has combined her love of nursing, history, and Western Wisconsin in this presentation. She will explore the different diseases and common medical treatments of the past. It might not be a surprise that it wasn’t much different than today. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students and free for members. Seating is limited. Reservations can be made by contacting the museum at 608-685-4231.
