Docent Led Tour - Interesting and informative little museum. Graphic descriptions of amputations may not be enjoyed by everyone. Loved the descriptions in the apothecary.

A good, quick, history lesson in medicine - Very impressed with this tiny tour. The young lady who did our tour was very knowledgeable in her information and sharing. Her descriptions of the amputations was enough to make anyone cringe but Moreno to think the tools she held in her hands, were the tools used back in the day. Although the hospital is tiny and the tour is completed in 2 rooms entirely, it was very informative and awesome to see the history lesson come to life. I live for gardening so to see and getting up close and personal with the medicine of yesterday's made my heart so very happy. There is definitely a heavy presence that follows you throughout St Augustine so you never feel alone but after learning about its history, it completely makes sense why. You enter into the tiny musuem up to the check in desk. Immediately pass that you enter into the musuem portion and can see a few different tools used back in the days on the wall to the left. The first room you come up to is the Terminally I'll room, where two wax figures are posed as chaplain and I'll patient. Outside the room is a framed description of what the room was used for. Next to that room is the doctors room with another wax figuring jotting down notes in his journal. When the tour begins you enter into a room with church pews in front of a table. On the table are old, relics of the past. Crude, rudimentary medical tools that were used to help save ill military members. In that same room are two cots as well. The next room was the pharmacist room and had a bookcase with herbs in jars on it. Behind the hospital is a tiny garden that butts up to the actual pharmacists house during the timeperiod. As I said, very informative and if you have about an hour to kill, I highly recommend this tour. For young kids, it'll bore them as there is nothing for them to touch or climb on. Better for those who are like 8 and up.

Healthcare history - I and my wife work in Healthcare and I am a history nerd!!! It was AMAZING to learn the history and where a lot of the things we take for granted come from. Jose was very knowledgeable and explained everything in great detai!!!

Fascinating tour - The narratives were interactive and well-paced. The artifacts that the museum displayed were fascinating. The curator was very knowledgeable.

Great - Really amazing presentation and informative. Was able to answer all of our questions, we only wish we had more time.

Great tour - Great tour very interesting and informative. Friendly staff our tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy interacting with guests. May not be for everyone but fit right in our interests as we are in EMS. Would return

Pup-friendly, awesome museum! - There are so many reasons to visit this museum. Starting with the owner, Nicholas, who is passionate about the museum. The tour guide is knowledgeable and wonderful. And well, they LOVE pups!

Jose made it great - My husband wanted to take this tour based on recommendation from a friend. When we arrived the lady told us a group of school children were about to tour and we couldn’t take the tour now. Super disappointed. We returned a few hours later and Jose ended up turning this tour into a 5 star experience. He spent time on both the historical and medical aspects of the hospital. Very informative and personalized just for us.

Loved the way she told... - Loved the way she told the history in a very entertaining way. She was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

Medicine at its best (or worst) - We came here on a Sunday; we were able to buy tickets on Groupon, which is a fantastic deal because you’re getting two tickets for the price of one. We were able to browse around initially then sat for an instructional play by play of events as they might have occurred during that time frame. It was very interesting to hear about the medical times of the late 1700s. Sure am glad I live in today- it sure I could have dealt with any procedures back then! After the play by play we went to the apothecary and learned about medicinal herbs and tinctures. All in all a good experience and would definitely recommend.
