Philadelphia Trip Summer 2016

My trip to Philadelphia proved challenging. I have learned about a Benjamin Rush medical herb garden and the founding members of the Mutter Physician Museum. Charles Cist graduated from the University of Halle, Germany and studied and planted medical herb gardens in Germany and while living in St. Peters burg, Russia.
Additionally, during my visit to the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, OH there was an exhibit of the Spencer art work. In the exhibit it mentioned a Benjamin Rush Spencer from Philadelphia who moved to Cincinnati, OH during the 1840's. This corresponds with the timing of Charles E. Cist mover to Cincinnati, Ohio. Charles E. Cist was the son of the Philadelphia printer Cist. I believe that the two families knew each other. Below are photos of an example of a book press, Benjamin Rush medical herb garden, and the main entrance to the Mutter Musuem.
