This review is from: Medical Landmarks Usa: A Travel Guide to Historic Sites, Architectural Gems, Remarkable Museums and Libraries, and Other Places of Health-Related (Paperback)
I found this book at my local medical library. It's in the vein of "Roadside America", but without the laughs. It showcases 7 main cities (i.e. NYC, Baltimore, Boston) and then has a state-by-state breakdown for the major universities, hospitals and museums in each. My taste runs more towards the creepy Mutter-museum type places, and this book devotes significant attention to medical schools and hospitals. These tend to have little interest except if you want to tour the grounds and bask in the "historicalness" of the site. I checked some of the places I know and they were described factually. It's kind of out-dated, but the places will be around for a long time, although the collections are likely to change some. However, I'll definitely consult this book before any trips, just in case there's a good museum where I'm headed
