Dr. G.V. Black Birthday Party

The G.V. Black District Dental Society is hosting a 190th birthday celebration for Greene Vardiman Black, the father of modern dentistry, who practiced in Jacksonville for 30 years in the 19th century.

The event will begin with a prime rib dinner and guest speaker highlighting the life and times of this famous native son. The evening will conclude with a special showing of the new exhibit featuring G.V. Black at the Jacksonville Area Museum.

Along with dentists, local non-dentists and history buffs are invited to celebrate.
