Mike Follin’s frontier medicine show is coming to Baker City at the Oregon Trail
Interpretive Center.
BAKER CITY, Ore. –
Living history interpreter
Mike Follin brings a re-
created traveling frontier
medicine show to the
National Historic Oregon
Trail Interpretive Center
August 14-17. Presenta-
tions of “Dr. Balthasar” are
scheduled daily at 10:30
a.m., noon and 2 p.m. in
the Leo Adler Theater
located inside the Center.
Follin is with the Ohio
Historical Society in
Cincinnati, and created the
character of a 19th century
frontier patent medicine
salesman to help modern
Americans understand
frontier history and early
day health care.
The Dr. Balthasar charac-
ter uses the rapid fi re patter
and entertaining techniques
that attracted early Ameri-
can country folk to attend
a sales talk and purchase
mostly useless tonics.
Follin opens and closes
his forty minute programs
with modern viewpoints
and facts about this early
industry and frontier life,
but when he assumes his
character, audiences fi nd
themselves transported
back in time, and often
become part of the good
doctor’s sales spiel.
The Trail Center is
located fi ve miles east of
Baker City, Oregon on
Highway 86. Take Exit 302
from I-84. The Center is
currently open 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. daily. Admission for
adults is $8.00; for seniors
it’s $4.50; children 15 and
under are admitted for free.
Federal passes are accept-
ed. Call (541) 523-1843 for
updates on programs and
events. For more informa-
tion about the Trail Center

mous, of course—of
the good deeds and
random acts of kind-
ness people from
around the area have
witnessed. To include
something you’ve seen
or experienced, email

tyPress.com with “Ran-
dom Acts of Kindness”

We’ll be sure to include
your story.
The
• I watched my neigh-
bors’ kid head out every
evening and water the
neighbors’ pets and
plants—at least the ones
outside—after he was
taken to the hospital.
I know for a fact that
nobody asked this kid
to do it. He just noticed
what was going on and
helped.
• Our teenage daughter
picked up and organized
all the clothes she’d
outgrown, and then had
her friends all do the
same. Then she col-
lected all the clothes
into bags and donated
them. We live in Union
County and hope it’s ok
to submit this! As par-
ents, we’re impressed
every day with her
kindness.
• This one guy paid for
this other guy’s latte or
whatever at the airport
the other day. The guy
with the coffee was
obviously military. Sup-
port!
