I was working in Castor and had a snow day with work shut down so I looked in on this gem and was given a personal tour which was absolutely fascinating! It blew me away how things have changed medically and I highly highly recommend seeing this museum! It is well worth a drive in just to see it especially if you are a history buff!
Lots of history , Alberta’s secret gem!
Get out and see it!
A jewel of a museum, privately owned so you have to call and make arrangements to view, no charge but a small donation probably appreciated. Everything, and I mean everything pharmacy related is in this wonderful display. A must see if you’ve ever worked in a pharmacy or drugstore in the past, or if you are feeling nostalgic for the way things were.
