The
American Museum of Veterinary Medicine (AMVM) features
medicine, instruments, equipment, text books and literature
from more than a hundred years of veterinary history. Located
on the Ridgewood Farm in Berks County near Reading,
Pennsylvania, the site consists of a renovated historic
farmhouse (circa 1740), with a high-style Federal wing
(circa 1811), a rare 19th-century double bank barn and a
host of outlying buildings.
The AMVM is a national,
non-profit organization open to the general public,
veterinarians, and all friends of veterinary medicine from
across the United States.
Our mission is to provide a
unique opportunity for the public to learn about the rich
heritage of veterinary medicine and its role in animal and
human welfare.
