Wonders of Science Demonstrations at Apothecary Museum
This winter, the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, 105-107 South Fairfax Street in Old Town Alexandria, hosts two days of special tours and demonstrations exploring 18th-century natural and medical science.
On Saturday and March 24, visit the Apothecary and discover curious objects, from poison bottles to dragon’s blood, and find out how they were used — and if they worked! On these dates, Project Enlightenment, McLean High School’s historical-reenactment society, will conduct 18th-century scientific demonstrations which are certain to expand visitors’ knowledge about science in the 1700s.
Admission is $6 per person. Reservations are recommended as space is limited, and can be made by calling (703) 746- 3852.
