What was nursing like in the days gone by? Do you know what it was like to ‘attend’ a mail order school of nursing?

The answers to these questions can be found at the Falmouth Heritage Museum display of nursing memorabilia including clothing, invalid feeders, bed pans and many other items used by the nurses of old. 

The Museum is located at 60 WoodS Road in Falmouth past the Falmouth Police Department. It is open every Saturday in July and August from 10 am to 3 pm.
