Abstract:
The Country Doctor Museum in Bailey was created in 1967 by physicians Gloria F. Graham and Josephine P. Newell. Housed in doctors' offices dating back to 1887, the museum harkens back to a time when doctors made house calls and measured their own medicine. Among the exhibits are eleventh century apothecary jars, bleeding bowls, ear trumpets, gunshot forceps, and the surgical tools used to amputate the left arm of Stonewall Jackson.
