Historical Apothecary and part of a three-site museum tour together with the Rising Sun Tavern and the Mary Washington House.
Hugh Mercer was a doctor and a good friend to George Washington and this site is very educational and interesting. Great way to experience how doctors attended to their patients in the Colonial Period
