The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum is now offering up-close and highly informative guided tours once a month with its new "Behind the Counter" tours. This is your chance to truly explore this Alexandria treasure first established in 1792. Witness the evolution of the Stabler-Leadbeater pharmaceutical business through the museum's buildings and collection. Examine the objects, archival materials, and the building itself - by going behind the counter! Reservations are required, and the tour price of $25 per person also includes a light breakfast. Because of the exclusive access, tours are limited to no more than 12 people. The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum has a spectacular collection of archival materials, including journals, letters and diaries, prescription and formula books, ledgers, orders and invoices. The names of famous customers appear in the documents, including Martha Washington, James Monroe, Nelly Custis and Robert E. Lee.
