Dr. William Rush Dunton Jr. is known for pioneering the field of occupational therapy while treating patients at Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital in the 1940s. Though he is best known for implementing quilting in his treatments, other types of occupational therapy available to patients included gardening, woodwork, and weaving. Pictured here is a loom that was used by Sheppard Pratt patients in the early 20th century. Learn more about Dr. William Rush Dunton Jr.’s groundbreaking work in occupational therapy through the exhibition, “Wild and Untamed: Dunton’s Discovery of the Baltimore Album Quilts.” The museum has extended its hours and is now open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday - Saturday.
