Summary

"This book narrates the intriguing tale of the Upjohn Pharmacy, a once-prominent feature of Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A., and its subsequent preservation by the History of Pharmacy Museum at the University of Arizona. It all started when the author, seizing a rare opportunity as a graduate student seeking museum experience, stumbled upon the largely forgotten collection of artifacts from the defunct pharmacy. The narrative delves deep into the author's personal journey from an enthusiastic volunteer to the museum's first full-time curator. Along the way, the book weaves through the history of pharmacy, highlighting ancient remedies like leeches to the sophisticated realm of molecular biology. Notably, it explores the connections between the Disney and Upjohn families, revealing lesser-known historical intersections that enriched both entities. Through careful curation and innovative exhibition strategies, the book celebrates the reinvigoration of the pharmacy's legacy, blending technological enhancements with treasured artifacts to illuminate the evolution of pharmaceuticals and their significant impact on global health"-- Provided by publisher.
