See a vignette of G.V. Black's circa 1870 dental office - featuring his Archer dental chair, a foot-powered dental engine that he invented, and hand instruments designed by Black to place silver amalgam fillings. A touchscreen computer kiosk allows visitors to flip through a "photo album" of Black's life to learn more about his home and family, scientific breakthroughs, and the legacy of his work.
