The Trial of Typhoid Mary

Next Friday marks the anniversary of “Typhoid” Mary Mallon’s first release from quarantine. She promised never to work as a cook again (that’s how she spread typhoid in the past). But shortly after her release, she changed her name to Mrs. Brown and broke her promise to stay out of the city’s kitchens. In this interactive show, it’s up to young visitors and their families to sleuth through the museum’s galleries and catch her before she can spread the deadly fever.
