MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center will present “Here Comes the Wizard Oil Wagon: Senior Support Series” at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, Nov. 5.

During the last quarter of the 19th century, Marquette County residents eagerly awaited the arrival of various traveling medicine shows. The shows consisted of free musical performances and humorous skits, plus sales pitches for whatever medicine the self-proclaimed “doctor” was selling.

The presentation will be given by local history buff Bill Van Kosky, who will take attendees back to the golden age of quackery, when medical science was floundering and anyone could legally put anything in a bottle and say that it would cure all ills of man or beast.

This daytime SSS program includes an antique medical equipment display by Chip Truscon, door prizes and complimentary Dead River Coffee. All ages are welcome to the free program.
