Hill-Physick House

We are still accepting RSPVs for our Spring Open House! If you would like to host a special event at the Hill-Physick or Powel Houses please join us on April 24! Email Megan at [email protected] to reserve your spot 💐

While working on our collections catalogue we stumbled upon a hidden treasure, stashed away for decades— old slides! These were sold in our museum shop for $1 per slide back in the day. This was a really fun stash to find and it reminds us that the work of preservation can be so exciting!

Stop by for a tour and feel free to ask to see the slides. We are open on Saturdays at 11am and Sundays at noon. Guided tours are hourly and cost $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors.

Spring is finally around the corner 🌷 Join us on April 24th to learn more about hosting private events at the Powel and Hill-Physick Houses. Featuring catering by our partner ✨ We’d love to meet you, show you our beautiful historic mansions and gardens, and share some tasty food as we learn more about your wedding, birthday party, graduation, or rehearsal dinner! RSPV to Megan at [email protected] to secure your spot 🎊

Happy Birthday to Dr Philip Syng Physick! 🎂Born on July 7, 1768, Dr Physick became one of the most influential American surgeons of his time. His legacy impacted the medical field deeply, and we have him to thank for surgical items like the tonsil guillotine, catgut sutures, 19th century cataract removal tools, and the stomach pump! He was a gifted surgeon and silversmith who used his skills to advance the medical field. He inspired a generation of young doctors by lecturing at Pennsylvania Hospital, where he was the first head of surgery.

We continue to tell his story and keep his legacy alive at the Hill-Physick House in Philadelphia, where you can take guided history tours Thursdays - Sundays! Visit us to learn more about his remarkable life.
