The Stone Fort Museum is hosting a reception for the exhibit, "Misery & Remedy: The Rise and Eradication of Epidemic Diseases in East Texas."

After a light dinner on the north lawn, Dr. Robert Carroll, will take visitors on a collector's tour of Misery and Remedy. As a major lender to the exhibit, Dr. Carroll has a unique perspective on changes that have taken place in medical science. At 6:30 p.m., Melissa Prycer, executive director of Dallas Heritage Village, will present, "The Hectic Flush: The Fiction and Reality of Consumption." Prycer will explore the impact of consumption on the public imagination in the 19th century, focusing on one author, L. M. Montgomery (best known for Anne of Green Gables).
