About
Mission & Board
McDowell House Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit devoted to preservation and medical history. The museum began in 1935 when a group of doctors purchased the home which had belonged to physician Ephraim McDowell 100 years before.
Support & Donation
We are so grateful for the support of our donors and for everyone who has come through our doors in over 75 years as a museum. Your continued support is vital in keeping our historic house preserved and open in the coming decades.
