Highly recommend the guided tour if you are into history/historic buildings. The tour allows you to go upstairs and see where medicines were made. Call ahead for times. Without the tour, allow yourself about 30 minutes in this museum. Guided tour was 45 minutes I believe. Probably not suitable for very young children.
An unexpected delight! What a wonderful place! Untouched by time! Janie was an awesome guide! Thank you! Totally recommend the guided tour.
Wonderful historical landmark. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. Admission is $5 which helps fund the museum but if you are a Alexandria resident it’s free! There are also many other local historic museums to visit in Alexandria.
Great tour. It was so interesting to learn about the 4 humors and the stuff people put in their bodies. Great for Harry Potter fans.
Worth the trip, very cool place, tons of retro style syrups and syrums. It is shocking as to how preserved this place is considering there a sweet greens nearby. Also the gift store is cute too.
Fun and educational - this apothecary is small, and the gift shop has some very cool items. We didn’t plan ahead for the full tour so we only saw downstairs. Our guide was well informed, asking questions helped the tour. Items were interesting and authentic. It opened in 1792 - things were quite different back then. Definitely worth $5 - a small investment in history.
They have basic tour of the first floor and afternoon tours of the upper floor. I went for the basic. The female tour guide knew what she was talking about and was able to answer my questions and even suggested one of the books in the gift shop. The tour only cost about five dollars and it was worth. I also bought the book she suggested. Most of the items are from the time period. In other words, from the bottles to the ingredients it is mostly ORIGINAL. Don't touch! I would have taken more photos but the tour guide was so great to talk to I forgot... They had a mat that was the copy of the wooden floor under it. So you could see what the wood looked like but it was also protected. 141 years in the SAME family.
Stumbled across this place and so happy I did. Julia and Melissa were both super knowledgeable and friendly! Even though self-guided tour only includes the first floor, there’s still so much to take in and learn. Might do the guided tour next time as it’s just $10, but was definitely happy with what I did see on the self-guided.

An interesting place to visit especially if you are into history. They have whiskey available for purchase. Most folks miss the mill when visiting Mt Vernon. Don't. This is worth the time.
