Abstract:

The only Health Museum in North Carolina was opened in Asheville in 1969 by a small organization of doctor's wives headed by Mrs. Eugene Sharpe, President of the Auxiliary to the Buncombe County Medical Society. Realizing the invaluable help that their own children received from their fathers' knowledge, libraries, and access to source materials, the Society decided to make these aids available to other children in the county.
