Sawbones Society Episode Two

Filmed at Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum, the Sawbones Society as part of Steampunk online welcomed their newest associate, Mr. Sy A. Nide. In chapter 4, the malpracticing medics (in a vicious misunderstanding) compete for the favour of Dr. Vera Morphine, their domineering head physician.

Tune in to the end for a historical note on Victorian era surgery with Dan Ford (a.k.a. Mr. Ether).

Sawbones Society Episode One

Last Thursday August 6, Steampunk online released the first episode of the Sawbones Society Season One which was filmed at Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum in which the nefarious malpracticing medics try their hand at some fundraising for their somewhat shady ‘cottage hospital’.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a historical note on Victorian physicians and hospitals with Sarah Pickard (a.k.a. Dr. Vera Morphine).

Fund The Foundation!

Notice what’s wrong with this picture?

IT’S CROOKED!

Our beloved Woodrow homestead is sinking on one side! The Woodrow homestead, which was built in the 1800s, is in need of a new foundation.  Without this restoration, the homestead walls will become damaged causing the homestead to be unusable which would be a tremendous loss to our museum and the entire Coldwater community. 

To prevent this, WE NEED YOUR HELP! The cost to restore the homestead will be huge, especially as a volunteer-run museum.  We are running a GoFundMe campaign and would be honoured if you supported our cause of preserving Coldwater’s history.

Or…

Donate through Canada Helps.

For either donation, you will receive a tax receipt.

Thank you for every donation. We really appreciate it.
