Very impressed with this tiny tour. The young lady who did our tour was very knowledgeable in her information and sharing. Her descriptions of the amputations was enough to make anyone cringe but Moreno to think the tools she held in her hands, were the tools used back in the day. Although the hospital is tiny and the tour is completed in 2 rooms entirely, it was very informative and awesome to see the history lesson come to life. I live for gardening so to see and getting up close and personal with the medicine of yesterday's made my heart so very happy. There is definitely a heavy presence that follows you throughout St Augustine so you never feel alone but after learning about its history, it completely makes sense why. You enter into the tiny musuem up to the check in desk. Immediately pass that you enter into the musuem portion and can see a few different tools used back in the days on the wall to the left. The first room you come up to is the Terminally I'll room, where two wax figures are posed as chaplain and I'll patient. Outside the room is a framed description of what the room was used for. Next to that room is the doctors room with another wax figuring jotting down notes in his journal. When the tour begins you enter into a room with church pews in front of a table. On the table are old, relics of the past. Crude, rudimentary medical tools that were used to help save ill military members. In that same room are two cots as well. The next room was the pharmacist room and had a bookcase with herbs in jars on it. Behind the hospital is a tiny garden that butts up to the actual pharmacists house during the timeperiod. As I said, very informative and if you have about an hour to kill, I highly recommend this tour. For young kids, it'll bore them as there is nothing for them to touch or climb on. Better for those who are like 8 and up.
