The Country Doctor Museum
Bailey, North Carolina

History, Specialized

This quaint museum is housed in two 19th century doctors' offices. It includes the 1857 office of Howard Franklin Freeman, MD, and an Apothecary Shop with cabinets from the late 1800s. Some apothecary jars and bottles still contain their original medicinal ingredients. The museum's collections all pay tribute to the rural practice of medicine including surgical sets, blood letting instruments, Civil War era instruments and microscopes. The Art of Nursing exhibit features nursing uniforms, memorabilia and an Iron Lung from the polio epidemics. The Carriage House boasts a saddle, horse-drawn buggy, and two vintage Model T's.
