This week, our weekly news magazine show travels to Silver Spring, where, tucked behind a busy intersection, sits one of the nation’s premier military medical research institutions: the National Museum of Health and Medicine.
Join host the MCM news team as they share the latest news from Montgomery County while exploring some of the museum’s most fascinating artifacts.
From the bullet removed from President Abraham Lincoln following the tragic events at Ford’s Theatre, to exhibits highlighting Army physician Walter Reed’s groundbreaking discovery that mosquitoes transmit disease, viewers will uncover remarkable stories that shaped history.
The team also gets an up-close look at Paul Revere’s dental toolkit—proof that the famous patriot had talents beyond his midnight ride in which hollered that famous warning, “The redcoats are coming!”
