Apothecary

The apothecary building was meticulously restored by the Kentucky Pharmaceutical Society in the 1950s. It consists of a back doctor’s office and a stunningly beautiful front pharmacy. It houses over 200 medical jars in a variety of colors and styles, many of which are lovely pieces of art.

The apothecary also features other medical tools such as an early stethoscope, dental instrumentals, and a large brass scale from Austria.
