SYRACUSE, NY -- Cazenovia library resident mummy, Hen, was brought into Crouse Hospital in Syracuse tonight for a CT scan. Doctors are hoping to find out more information about him.
Hen was brought to the Cazenovia library in 1894 by library benefactor Robert Hubbard. Hubbard purchased the mummy and other artifacts while touring Egypt with the intention of setting up a museum at the library.
