  • Thoroughly enjoyable displays of old medical equipment in use at a hospital. Amazed by the variety of bedpans and wheelchairs. Lots of bottles and scary looking equipment for regular checkups...

  • Such an awesome place. Definitely one of a kind. Medical devices from all over and the first hospital in Foley.
  • I must see when passing through Foley, Alabama! It has one of the best representative collection of medical equipment of days past that I've ever seen. It is a lot larger then one would expect. Has interesting items at every turn with good visibility and explanation. The docent was extremely knowledgeable about the museum and the area. Adding to this he was very friendly and enjoyed a good conversation!
  • This is a true step back to early medical care and treatment. This hospital has been frozen in time. For the most part, all original instruments are still there. Sort of creepy and fascinating at the same time. Must see museum.
  • Steph was knowledgeable an extremely kind and fun to hear all the history of this Hospital and how it came about. very cool to just walk through the different rooms and down the halls and just imagine what it used to be. It's free to get in but we did leave a significant amount for a donation a must-see on your list if you're traveling.
  • Even if you dont know anything about medical, this place is small and very old time original hospital. I am so happy medicine has had an upgrade compared to the past.
