Very cool! Went here for a nursing school field trip and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The curator is very friendly! All exhibits are well maintained. My favorite part was the heart valves and the iron lung. It’s not very big, but if you read every display you could spend a couple hours here.

Very interesting little museum with lots to see. We loved it all! We kept going back to the same displays because there were so many details to read and learn about. Makes you grateful for modern medicine but also makes you wonder what the future generations will say about our understanding of modern medicine.

This is an amazing place to visit which shows an array of medical relics and old technology that gave rise to modern day advancements in medicine. I am truly grateful to know that a museum like this exists and those gems are preserved and made aware to the public. As a nurse, I appreciate my career so much more knowing the history of medicine. Thank you Dr. Bob LaPerriere for showing me arpund. I highly recommend this place to everyone. I was in town from Chicago and was pleased to see it open after their renovation.

Weird medical gear from the past reminds us how close to the primitive we were AND ARE. Enjoy the model of a phrenology head that identifies your character traits and health by the bumps on your skull! Real science in the early 20th Century. Other similar oddities await. Worth the trip if such odd things interest you.
