If you’re in Philadelphia and want to do a historic tour some afternoon, there’s one that I think many people are unaware of.

You can tour the Pennsylvania Hospital original building. East wing was first opened in 1755, West Wing in 1796, and center in 1804. You can visit the original surgical amphitheatre, the medical library, and see the hospital’s fire engine.
