Tuberculosis –Its History and the Role Played by Parke-Davis in Rochester in its Detection
Presented and Hosted by Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm
April 9, 2022, 11 a.m.
Since the beginning of time, tuberculosis has been a scourge on mankind reaching epidemic proportions in the 18th and 19th centuries. Effective treatments were not available and in the early 20th century, detection and isolation became the methods to control its spread. Parke-Davis – Rochester played an important part in its detection. This presentation will present a history of tuberculosis, the sanitariums set up for isolation and treatment, the Parke-Davis products used for its detection, and the medications that eventually succeeded in treating it.
Don Callihan is a Parke-Davis retiree. Prior to his retirement, he was Director of Engineering at the Parke-Davis facility in Rochester, Michigan.

Exploring the Moon: How & Why
May 12, 7 p.m.
Presented by the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm
NASA is in the midst of a lunar exploration campaign that will return humans to the surface of the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The Artemis program will involve a series of robotic landers, a small space station orbiting in cislunar space, and several crewed expeditions with the goal of establishing a sustained human presence near the lunar south pole. But why? Haven’t we already been to the Moon? In this talk, Dr. Benjamin Ashman, an aerospace engineer, will provide a brief overview of the Moon itself, its geography and geology, and survey highlights of what we have learned over the many years of lunar exploration, from 17th-century telescope observations to the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 70s (named after the twin brother of Artemis).
