Seelye's Medicine Store
Seelye's Medicine Wagon

The Seelye Mansion is a gorgeous Georgian-style home that was built in Abilene, Kansas, in 1904 from the profits of "patent medicines." The Patent Medicine Museum contains many artifacts of the A.B. Seelye Medical Company. Founded in 1890, more than 100 products were sold. Dr. Seelye had a soaring business, marketing his "cure-alls" through 14 states. His most famous "cure-alls " were Wasa-Tusa, Fro-zona, and Ner-vena. He had a sales force of 400 strong peddling his tonics, and with the income from his business set out to build the finest home in Kansas. His wife contracted a prominent New York architect to design the home after she saw an example of the architect's work in a trade magazine. The Seelye Mansion has twenty-five rooms including eleven bedrooms, a ballroom, a library, a very spacious kitchen, a beautiful elegent dining room, a music room with gold french furniture and a Steinway grand piano.
