Welcome to McDowell House
McDowell House Museum is an 1800s historic house with a fascinating story, an apothecary and two gardens. This National Historic Landmark site is the former home and office of pioneering surgeon Dr. Ephraim McDowell. We are open year-round for public tours, group tours, and field trips.
