The Putnam Museum has been collecting natural science, history, and anthropology objects for almost 160 years. The collection is large and eclectic to say the least. That’s a polite way to say that some artifacts are just weird. From hairballs to bloodletting devices, none of these objects will ever be designated “national treasures,” but many have earned a place in the hearts and memories of the Quad Cities’ community. Learn the stories behind these well-loved objects and many of the other wonderfully strange pieces preserved at the Putnam.
