Eichold- Heustis Medical Museum

Six months at the new location: the historic Vincent-Walsh House, 1664 Springhill Ave., this is the largest collection of medical artifacts in the Southeast. Three galleries include exhibits of antique instruments, teaching aids and other items related to medicine and surgery. There is also a room dedicated for Nursing. It is nestled in the beautifully landscaped Children Park in sight of two of the city's major hospitals.

Eichold-Heustis Medical Museum

"The largest collection of medical memorabilia in the Southeast." From our notes on a 1993 visit: Spookily lit wood display cabinets, thoughfully placed near the children's ward, so they can wander over and see the sharp 19th century instruments and imagine horrors that await them. Small quackery display, many instruments, and two larger-than-life anatomical models spice up the place. One has a moustache and goatee. Made of papier mache, they serve to look down on any children in the place. One trephined skull.
