Founded in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond, Pennsylvania Hospital’s story reflects centuries of compassion, innovation, and progress. Its history traces the evolution of care from the early surgical amphitheater to advances in mental health and women's health.
On this self-guided tour, we will walk through the original apothecary filled with jars, tools, and remedies that shaped modern medicine. Other exhibits will tell the history of the museum - and of the origins of modern medicine. Finally, we will find ourselves in the surgical amphitheater, where medical education in this country began.
Afterward, some of us may have lunch together. We'll have information on return trains.
Register online (log in first), or call or text 267-444-4507 (M-F, 9-6), so we know how many tickets to order, and so we can notify you of any last-minute changes. And do let us know if you must cancel, as we will buy tickets in advance.
