So worth checking out. A rare time capsule. So rare in fact, that even the original owners realized it was worth preserving with as much originality as possible...back in the 1700s!
It's also worth your money for the guided tour. Our guide was wonderful.

What a cool authentic time capsule of an early US Apothecary. Well worth the time! They even had a letter from Martha Washington ordering supplies from them. The upstairs work shop contains all the original ingredients, storage bins, and tools of the trade that have been there for over 200 years.

A preserved time capsule of an authentic apothecary. The guides were very informative and the exhibit showed original apothecary jars with the materials preserved inside. A unique look into the past.

Did the tour and it was super fun! Totally worth stopping in and seeing a cool part of life that I never had thought about. The tour guide was very passionate and was great at answering our questions.

Really nice place i didn't pay for the tour but I did see some of the inventions and many are more relevant more than they probably were in the past when they were invented lol.
