And it's cool, real cool.

A lot of people find it a humorous place as it houses a large collection of contraceptives over the years. But it's so much more than that. Diagnostic equipment going back 150 years. A Doctor's office from 1870. Surgical Kits going back to our first Surgeons. A Dentist Office and a Pharmacy from different periods of time. Rows and rows of Doctor's equipment going back until the 1800s. It's fascinating. Even of the first X-Ray Machines.
