We saw the sign on the road to the whirrly gig park and thought we would stop in. The cost is 10.00 for an adult and 8.00 for a senior. They have a small gift shop. There is a lot of fisplays in the old doctors office across the way. Nice carrage and antique cars in carage house plus an iron lung.
The Country Doctor Museum is truly a treasure. I've driven past the sign to this place for years and finally got the opportunity to stop and visit. I wish I had been years ago... but glad I stopped today.
This is a gem of a museum! Tons of artifacts and info presented in a very digestible format through engaging docents and easily readable signs. Great curation — they feature a number of doctors from ENC (including black doctors) and have a well-balanced historical perspective. I look forward to coming back!
An excellent museum with extremely knowledgeable staff. A great example of how to turn a small collection into an informative (and fun) experience. You’ll be treated to a great tour that includes a lesson in 19th century pill manufacturing and getting to see a mid-20th century iron lung. A really fantastic way to spend an afternoon and definitely appropriate for all ages.
Quality museum. Great information. Heck it out and support awesome information places like this.
