The former 19th-century home of a local surgeon, the historic McDowell House features an apothecary, a centuries-old medical office, and lovely surrounding gardens. The house was the site of the world's first abdominal surgery, performed by Ephraim McDowell in 1809 to remove an ovarian tumor from a patient. It lies downtown, across from the Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center.
