We are pleased… to announce the formal opening of
the Kentucky Renaissance Pharmacy Museum located in Lexington’s Old
Fayette County Courthouse at 215 West Main Street. Ironically, our
museum is in the area that has been known since the late 1700’s as
Lexington’s “Drug Store Corner.” Our grand opening, At the Kentucky Renaissance
Pharmacy Museum’s formal opening, two of the
planned four exhibit areas were featured with examples of some of the early
tools of our profession. These relics of early professional
involvement (1890-1930’s) and mortars and pestles collected from around
the world by Kentucky trained pharmacists demonstrate the
expanding realm of influence enjoyed by the professionals of our state.
Donations also include memorabilia from Dunn Drugs, McAdams and Morford
The Kentucky Renaissance Pharmacy Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) museum and, as part of the Lexington History Center, does not charge admission and we are one of two permanent museums in the Lexington History Center. Operation of the Kentucky Renaissance Pharmacy Museum continues through the donations and gifts to the museum by those who have an appreciation of, and a desire to preserve the rich history of the practice of pharmacy in Kentucky. We invite you to come visit us and enjoy the history of Kentucky pharmacy. In a very short period of time, we have been fortunate enough to preserve and display pieces of our history for future generations. We encourage you to visit us often as we continue to develop the Kentucky’s signature pharmacy museum.
