The collection includes instruments, equipment, furnishings, and portraits from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, with a special emphasis on the life of Horace Wells and the history of anesthesia.
Presently, with the exception of the library stacks, literally the entire building serves as the physical structure wherein the collection is housed. From the beginnings of four showcases, the museum now has sixteen such cases, three wall cases, and nine full rooms of displayed artifacts, representing a marvelous cross-section of Dental and Medical history.
Museum hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday. Admission to the museum is $2 for adults and free for children accompanying adults.
