Public Health Museum
The Public Health Museum is the country's first museum dedicated to medical history. It is located in the historic 1894 Old Administration Building, also known as the Richard Morris Building. The museum's exhibits explore the history of advances in preventive healthcare and they feature numerous artifacts, memorabilia and archival materials. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The facility still operates as mental and physical health hospital for those with serious conditions in these areas.
