Niagara Apothecary

Free to visit or donation. This was once the oldest pharmacy in Ontario. Increible to see how well it is maintained. Nice displays inside for all to see. Some gifts can be purchased inside. It is nice to see what things looked like back in the day. Very interested. No free WiFi. Everything is in English. Come in and look and make a donation.

Finally able to stop in for a visit and was not disappointed. So many neat collections from the old pharmacy and preserved how it was back in the 18-1900s. The loveliest gentleman shared some of the interesting history of this place, I would highly recommend taking a peak while you’re in NOTL.

Most people probably walk right past this place, but if you open the heavy door, you’ll find yourself enchanted by a collection of historic medicine bottles that make you forget the noise outside. It’s rare to see them preserved in such beautiful condition, and they hold great historical value. If the museum happens to be open, consider yourself lucky. Be sure to check it out!

Very cool to read about the history of medicine at this museum. After walking in, it feels like you stepped back in time with how many pieces of history they have in there. Looks like they kept all the original medicine bottles. Great place to pass the time and it’s free. As we were passing to leave, we saw some very cool coasters and decided to purchase some.

The Niagara apothecary is an absolutely stunning piece of pre-Confederation architecture. The building was built in the 1820s and became a pharmacy after extensive renovations in 1866. It remained a pharmacy until 1964. Paid Street parking is available. Excellent place to visit to understand the history of the town.
