Holmes Medical Museum

Awesome glimpse into small-town life as it was 75+ years ago! Incredible displays of medical equipment in the actual original hospital! Enjoyed by and interesting for each member of our group -- ages 11, 13, 67, 70, and 92!

This museum is a unique treasure, sharing an up-close look at medical history. You truly feel you are taking a step back in time. My family and I love to visit on our trips to the beach. It has become a must-stop and also introduced us to several other businesses in Foley, which is a wonderful place to explore!

Cool experience and friendly staff. A museum filled with all kinds of interesting and unusual medical antiques from the 19th to early 20th century. Much bigger on the inside than it appears. I enjoyed exploring the detailed room displays. Well-researched and treated with respect. Highly recommend.

I must see when passing through Foley, Alabama! It has one of the best representative collection of medical equipment of days past that I've ever seen. It is a lot larger then one would expect. Has interesting items at every turn with good visibility and explanation. The docent was extremely knowledgeable about the museum and the area. Adding to this he was very friendly and enjoyed a good conversation!

Great museum- take your time and read what is given. Each room has so many interesting items!!

A great stop on the way to or from the beach! Interesting tools and oddities from local history, we loved it!

This is a true step back to early medical care and treatment. This hospital has been frozen in time. For the most part, all original instruments are still there. Sort of creepy and fascinating at the same time. Must see museum.

Steph was knowledgeable an extremely kind and fun to hear all the history of this Hospital and how it came about. very cool to just walk through the different rooms and down the halls and just imagine what it used to be. It's free to get in but we did leave a significant amount for a donation a must-see on your list if you're traveling.

My mom Judith Keith Dolihite was born in 1941 to Pearl Middleton Keith & James Edward Keith (aka Buster aka DaddyBuck) @ Holmes Hospital..DaddyBuck was out on the boat making local deliveries from Magnolia Springs to Ft Morgan the day my mom was born.. my Aunt Margaery Keith Martiniere (aka FannyBell on WHEP Radio) my moms oldest sister drove my Grandma Keith from McKenzie Road on Turkey Branch in Fairhope Al to Holmes Hospital in Foley Al where my mom was delivered

Such an awesome place. Definitely one of a kind. Medical devices from all over and the first hospital in Foley.

this place was so fun and it was amazing that it was free admission, i learned alot of things!!

So neat to see what healthcare and a hospital was like a so long ago… even more cool to find out that my grandma and great grandma were born in this hospital!

This place was cool. It was interesting seeing the antique medical equipment and to see some of the history of medical practice.

Great museum to learn about what hospitals were like in the past. The best part of this museum is that it's free.

This experience is good for youth who aspire to enter the medical field and for those who enjoy history. The staff are friendly and the exhibits are very detailed. Most of the exhibits contain the original medical tools and other objects from whenever the hospital was in operation. Overall a very lovely experience where you get to learn more about Foley's medical history.

Even if you dont know anything about medical, this place is small and very old time original hospital. I am so happy medicine has had an upgrade compared to the past.

It is free and authentic. Has a lot of history very interesting and restored to it former self.

Thankful for modern technology!!! Lots of history and very interesting!!

Very interesting indeed. Even a little spooky. :)

Went here on the suggestion of a friend. If you have a medical background, this place is amazing for you. The story of this place is heartwarming and amazing. It is actually located in Foley, AL.
