take the tour, it was well worth it to see the storage floors and learn how this location evolved through the centuries. And how medicines changed with time. An herbalists dream come true.

Although we had a less than impressive tour guide, the Apothecary provided a glimpse of the past which would be of interest to the general public, but perhaps particularly to health care workers, who might be interested in the history of drugs in this country.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the museum and the history. He also allowed us ample opportunity for pictures, and was himself a great model- as you can see. Having watched the PBS Mercy Street series, based on the local Hospital, the tour...More

The authentic apothecary has all the original bottles, potions and instruments sold in the 1800's when it was closed. A dentist guided us through the museum discussing the old remedies and medicines used compared to what is done today. The second floor shows the manufacturing...More
