Did you know.... Dr Pepper(as a brand) is the oldest soft drink in America! In fact, it's older than Coca-Cola by a full year. Created in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton, its original name was Waco as it was served in his Waco drugstore's soda fountain. The drink was an instant hit; ...customers would sit down on one of those old spinning stools and say, “Shoot me a Waco.” Add a visit to the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco to your summer activities list and learn more about the history of Dr Pepper.

Fun side note: Preservation Scholar Gavin Porter is working on a project with the Dr Pepper Museum and THC staff to trace Green Book locations that served Dr Pepper!

The tomb of Marie Curie in Paris, France: It's lined with inch-thick lead to shield visitors from the radiation that emanates from her remains.

Curie, a French-Polish scientist, made history as the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different sciences ...— physics in 1903 and chemistry in 1911.

Despite being barred from higher education due to her sex, Curie pursued her studies at the clandestine "Flying University," where she laid the foundation for her revolutionary discoveries of radium, polonium, and the concept of radioactivity.

Sadly, Curie’s pioneering work came at a great cost.

She unknowingly exposed herself to lethal doses of radiation. She often carried radium in her pockets, studied it tirelessly in her lab, and even admired its glow at night. She succumbed to aplastic anemia in 1934, a condition linked to her exposure. Today, her body and personal belongings remain radioactive and are expected to stay so for another 1,500 years, a lasting testament to her profound impact on science.

Here comes Belsnickel….wait…who is that?!

Belsnickel can trace his origins back to Germany. He became popular in some pockets of the U.S. when immigrants brought the folktale to the Pennsylvania Dutch communities. He wears tattered, patched-together clothing and ragged furs, carrying a... whip. He visits children around Christmas, snapping his whip to frighten the naughty and rewarding the good with candy. His name comes from a combination of the German "belzen" (meaning to wallop) and "nickel" for St. Nicholas.
