The Farm

Presented by: Catherine Allen-Goodwin

  • Long before modern supply chains, the Traverse City State Hospital relied on its own farm to feed patients and staff. The TCSH farm lecture looks at how agriculture supported the hospital’s mission, provided work for patients, and played a key role in everyday life on the grounds.

Doors open at 6:00pm, Lecture starts at 6:30 pm. Lectures will be about 1 hour with additional time for Q&A after. 

Tickets are $15 per person. Tickets can be purchased in advance using the link below or at the door.
