    The Niagara Apothecary is an authentic museum restoration of a 1869 pharmacy as part of a practice that operated in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, from 1820 to 1964.

    Loved the way the government has preserved this place. A working pharmacy was left locked by the owner in 1864 and was never opened until 1964!!!! So the old prescriptions of doctors, medicines in bottles as they were there in yesteryears, weighing scales, an old typewriter it's like being transported in a time machine into the past.... Mr. Norris who is a retired pharmacist was so good to explain the details. It was a a great stop in the old town. !!

    This is a really interesting pharmacy to visit because it really captures the history of an old
    pharmacy of the past. Apparently, it is only open in the summer. It is located at the very end of the Main Street on Niagara on the lake. Inside this pharmacy are lined with many bottles of all the medications. You will also find contraptions used to make medications back in the day.

    The unique aspects of this pharmacy are detailed descriptions of the medicines as well as the chemicals used in the past. I looked at the medicines on the wall, and I could not Identify a single one except for cocaine and opium. Certainly, you will not find any of these types of chemicals anywhere else.

    Also, there are photos showing that Queen Elizabeth even visited this apothecary when she visited Canada.

    Overall, I would say that this pharmacy is worth visiting if you are in the area. It really gives you some nostalgia about how life was back in the past.

    Really interesting place with a wonderful history and great things to learn about items sold in the original pharmacy such as the Perfume Dispenser (shown in the photo). The museum curator was extremely knowledgeable.
