McGill Drugstore Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of McGill, Nevada, this little gem is a perfectly preserved time capsule from the early 20th century. Stepping inside feels like you've walked right into a 1920s apothecary, with its original soda fountain counter and rows of mysterious potions still lining the shelves. You can almost hear the clink of glasses and the chatter of miners stopping in for a phosphate. Itβs a remarkably intimate glimpse into the daily life and remedies of a bygone era.
Collection Highlights
The gorgeous, marble-topped soda fountain is the star of the show, complete with its original syrup dispensers and glassware. Don't miss the beautiful display of hand-blown medicine bottles and the intriguing 'cure-all' tonics that promised to fix just about anything.
Visitor Information
It's located right on South 4th Street, but do check ahead as their hours can be seasonal. The small space makes it feel more like a personal discovery than a formal museum visit.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming early 1900s commercial storefront, it retains its classic main street charm with a large display window and a simple, functional interior built for business.
