This 18th-century building restored as the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop presents a vivid living history interpretation of Colonial medical practices. Leeches, lancets, and snakeroot are all found in this 18th century doctors office and pharmacy. Visitors can hear about the popular treatment of the day for a ladys hysteria or a medicine so potent that it would, according to one wealthy plantation owner cheer a man with a bad wife. The Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop is one of Washington Heritage Museums and is within short walking distance of its other sites: the Mary Washington House, Rising Sun Tavern, and St. James House.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingEveryone needs a ticket for entryVoucher can be redeemed at the Ticketing Desk InclusionsAll-day General Admission during museum hoursExclusionsSurcharged special events (if applicable)Departure Point1020 Caroline St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401Departure TimeHOURSMarch – OctoberMonday-Saturday 9am – 4pmSunday 12noon – 4pm November – FebruaryMonday-Saturday 11am – 4pmSunday 12 noon – 4pm Closed: Thanksgiving Day, December 24-25, 31 and January 1Duration.5 to 1 hrsVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour identified in this promotion is made available through Viator.
