"There has been an independent drugstore at this location since 1885. The Cowan family has owned the store since 1969, starting with Max Cowan. Today, Max's son, Dr. John Cowan operates the pharmacy. The drug store maintains its historic and independent charm. The pharmacy counter stands as it did 50 years ago, serving customers. The first six prescriptions filled in 1885 hang framed on the wall surrounded by vintage pharmaceutical bottles. The pharmacy provides vaccines as well as fills prescriptions. The store also sells a great selection of Hallmark cards and gifts, local postcards, candy and nuts. While the photo shop within the drugstore closed years ago, a collection of vintage cameras is displayed on shelves. The Cubbard is a popular breakfast and lunch spot in the rear of the store. The food is down home delicious. You see the same friendly faces every visit. Cowan's is an amazing locally owned business and worth a visit. There is free street parking."

"John and his team are absolutely the best. They are the epitome of outstanding customer service. I tell their story every time a health care provider confirms my pharmacy. Often times out of town physicians confirm they have heard all good things about them. Mom and Pop, several pharmacist, PTs, Purdue and Butler Pharm kids working, all are happy and eager to look after customers. Looked after employees make for well looked after customers. It's a happy place, quick turn around by folks that know you. I actually enjoy going in for refills. They simply blow away the chains whom seem to have the polar opposite approach to care."

"Best Pharmacy we’ve ever had. The Cowan team goes above and beyond for their customers. My husband got extremely ill a few years ago and Cowan was a large part of how we got through that tough time. They are a great group of people."

"Cowan Drugs is my go to pharmacy. Family run by genuinely good people. They will always take the time to provide any information needed. We have used Cowan Drugs and their sister store, Parkside Pharmacy for well over 45 years."

"Nothing but great things to say. Every-time I go in it's very fast and a painless experience. All the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The facility itself is very unique with a nostalgic look but modern conveniences. The app they use is super user friendly and makes your time spent at the pharmacy way less. Love supporting local and Cowan's is another Lebanon local gem. Also try the breakfast spot in there it is terrific."

"Best pharmacy around by far. You don’t find many local family owned pharmacies like this anymore. My experience here is consistently top tier. The pharmacist is so kind and always takes the time to answer any questions I have regarding my medications. I really appreciate this pharmacy’s emphasis on customer satisfaction and excellent service."

"Absolutely love Cowans. I started going to Cowans due to having to fill my seizure medications. I had lost my health insurance and was going to Walgreens, One medicine alone was over $380, but at Cowans without insurance was $80! Less than 1/4 of what Walgreens wanted to charge me. Not only that, BUT going to Walgreens I was just another person. Going to Cowans I was welcomed, and they knew me by name. This happened over 9 years ago. I have been going to Cowans every single month for my medicine. Tom, his wife and the staff are such wonderful people with beautiful hearts. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. For Cowans, it's making sure that the community gets the medication they need at an affordable price for any household, not marking the price up by 100% to make a profit, like any other "big name" pharmacy. Cowans will hold my business until the day I no longer need medication or until I pass away. I hope they stay right in the heart of Lebanon because they truly are the reason as to why so many people are able to get the medication they need. They are the heart of Lebanon and the heart of so many in Lebanon. Thank you Cowans for the quality and care you give to so many of us!"
