An Invitation to walk back in History

AN INVITATION TO TAKE A WALK BACK IN HISTORY

We invite you, your teachers and students to take a walk back into history. The Sea View Hospital Healthcare Museum housed in the 1912 Nurses Residence depicts nine stations full of health care memorabilia dating as far back as 1881. The museum is open during the school week for guided tours and historical classroom presentations on Tuberculosis' impact on the nation from 1910-1960. A curriculum on tuberculosis and Sea View's role in its cure is distributed to each class prior to its scheduled tour.

Your students will see and touch:

Surgical instruments used throughout the 1920's to the 1950's

The effects on Tuberculosis on the human body
A child's incubator used in the late 1940's
Original Patients' Registry dating back to 1929
Many more artifacts dating back to the turn of the 20th Century.

Your students will take home a project, which upon completion and submission enables them to enroll as members of Sea View Hospital Health Care Museum. Each student will then receive a personalized Certificate of Membership.

The museum is open for groups of children from grades 4 through 10, in the morning and afternoon, from 10.00 am through 3.00 pm. Please call to schedule your class tour. Each tour will last for 60 minutes. Contact the education Department at Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Home at 718-317-3354
