A Pasadena founder, the donkey-riding doctor. The tale of Dr. Boyd's home visits and unconventional payments.
💲 ~~ DID YOU KNOW? ~~ 💲
Dr. Boyd would make house calls to his patients and a lot of times he rode his donkey to their home!! He also took bartered items, such as a flat of strawberries, as payment for his services.🍓
We had family members of Dr. James Monroe Boyd come tour the museum - they came all the way from Yorktown, Texas! Dr. James Monroe Boyd came to Pasadena in 1921 as Pasadena's first full-time doctor. We have medical instruments and photos of Dr. Boyd on exhibit at the museum for you to enjoy!
