With a little advance notice, we can arrange individual and group tours of the historic headquarters of the Frontier Nursing Service at Wendover and the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. Your tours includes: a visit to the FNS Historic Photo Gallery located in the Garden House, a viewing of the Forgotten Frontier, a film made by Mary Breckinridge’s cousin, Marvin Breckinridge in 1930, a visit to Mary Breckinridge’s home, the Big House, a delicious home-cooked lunch in the Dog Trot Dining room of the Big House and a relaxing stroll down our newly blazed, Hurricane Trail.
After a short drive to Hospital Hill, the tour continues at the former Hyden Hospital location, which is now the home of the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. While at the School, visitors will see the St. Christopher’s Chapel featuring a 15th century English stained glass window, and the Haggin Dorm with a brick from Florence Nightingale’s home located on the second floor.
The price for lunch is $7.00 and we can accommodate groups up to 15 people. Please call (606) 672-2317 to make your reservations. Reservation Form below.
