Today we’re featuring Helen Morgan Munn on the Voices of Saranac Lake! Helen (1931 - 2010) spent most of her life in Saranac Lake, where her mother took the fresh air cure for TB. In an interview with Tammy Morgan, Hellen talked about her mother’s experience with TB at Gabriel's Sanatorium and the State Sanatorium at Ray Brook. She shared about some of the misadventures of her brother Dewdrop Morgan and spoke about the family farm. Helen’s parents ran the Morgan family farm. They had 426 acres and milked 40 cows, by hand and by machine, and delivered to restaurants, cure cottages, and Fish Creek campground.
