Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum 301 King Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314
If the regular 30 minute tour of the Apothecary Museum just isn’t enough, this is the tour for you! Spend more time touring the museum with an expert guide, including the rarely open basement and third floor of the historic pharmacy.
Opened in 1792 by young Quaker pharmacist Edward Stabler, the family business operated until 1933. Patrons included George and Martha Washington and Robert E. Lee. Over 15,000 objects still remain as part of the museum's collection - everything from herbs to bottles.
Tickets are $15 per person; the tour is recommended for adults only. Advance purchase is recommended due to limited space. Act fast, the last tour was sold out.
