NEW TOWN (AP) - The Three Tribes Museum has a new hospital room with some older attractions.

The Elbowoods Hospital Room is filled with hospital memorabilia, most of it from Dr. Herbert Wilson, who practiced medicine for many years on the Fort Berthold Reservation in Elbowoods and then in New Town. He and his wife, Lilian, now live in Bismarck.

Wilson plans to return to New Town next week to serve as an emergency physician for the Three Affiliated Tribes-hosted Signature Event, a national Lewis and Clark bicentennial event.

Marilyn Hudson, administrator of the Three Tribes Museum, said much of Wilson's memorabilia from his years on Fort Berthold has been stored in the museum.

When Wilson retired from his medical practice in New Town, Hudson said he had memorabilia in his house and in his clinic. "A lot of it came out here," she said.

One item is a bassinet that once was in the Elbowoods Hospital. Elbowoods is a former community on the reservation now covered by Lake Sakakawea.

"I'm sure anybody born in those years (when the hospital operated) may have been placed in this bassinet," Hudson said.

"Any children born after 1930, many Fort Berthold children and other children, slept in this, possibly even myself and many of my brothers and sisters," she said.

The Elbowoods Hospital was built in 1929.

Hudson said an open house and dedication of the Elbowoods Hospital Room are planned after all Wilson's files have been indexed, probably not until this fall.

"We have all of Dr. Wilson's archives - health records that go back to the '50s, and we're in the process of indexing them now," she said this week.
