Pharmacist Scale
This delicate brass and wooden scale once measured out precious remedies in a local pharmacist's shop, helping ensure that every patient received exactly the right dose of medicine. Donated in memory of Mary Hladchuk, the scale connects us to Stuart's early healthcare community, a time when the pharmacist was often a trusted healer and a cornerstone of neighborhood life.
On display, main floor, Drug store section.
Come in and see it. Open every day, 10 AM to 3 PM. Admission: free.
