Apothecary Reviews
One of the highlights of our time in Willisburg. We enjoyed it so much we came back a second time. Fascinating stories and information, lots of items to see, and both "guides" we had were full of knowledge and able to answer any question put to them. My 8yo son and 12 yo daughter both asked to return. Highly recommend.
Old fashioned apothecary with authentic appearing medical equipment, medicine jars and cabinets. The docent was very knowledgeable about 1770-1800 health care provided by the locals as home remedies and what the doctor could provide. Fascinating.

By visiting the Pasteur and Galt Apothecary we learned this was far more than a drug store. The pharmacist acted as a doctor, surgeon and merchant. You could explain your symptoms or just ask for a specific medication, all with no prescription. The apothecary also sold other items much like today. A very interesting place to visit.
