Abstract:

Located in the town of Bailey, in Nash County, The Country Doctor Museum was established in hopes of keeping alive the memory of the now nearly extinct old-time country doctor. The museum includes many exhibits, including apothecary jars, operating tables, old medical books, and the surgical implements used by Doctors Matthew Moore Butler and Hunter McGuire to amputate the arm of Stonewall Jackson.
