The Niagara Apothecary
|
The Niagara Apothecary opened its doors at its present location in 1869 (during the Canadian Confederation period). It is the only surviving building of that time in the town. (The Niagara Apothecary operated for nearly 150 years under a succession of six owners, starting about 1818/1820, at another location in town, and it closed in 1964 due to the ill health of the last pharmacist owner.) |  | |

| The Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) accepted the responsibility to restore the professional practice aspects (to ensure the museum accurately reflects an operating pharmacy of the Confederation period). The College also agreed with the OHF to operate the Apothecary as a museum for an initial period of 35 years (to 2005). This agreement was recently extended to 2010. |
