About the Tour
We dive into the Declaration of Independence’s drafting, debating, and signing at the famous Independence Hall. From there, we explore George Washington’s legacy as a politician, general, and president. This leads us to the iconic Liberty Bell and the history behind its famous crack and its status as an abolitionist symbol. Then, on the self-guided walking tour, of Philadelphia, we explore the lives, museums, and homes of revolutionary figures like Ben Franklin, the diplomat, Benedict Arnold, the traitor, Thomas Jefferson, future president, and Crispus Attacus, the American hero.
We continue our journey past the famous African American Museum, Franklin Square, National Constitution Center, and the Mint. At the historic Betsy Ross House, we see the birthplace of the American flag, and in picturesque Elfreth’s Alley, we step back into a more quaint, cobblestoned era. Finally, our tour passes George Washington’s church and fittingly concludes at the Museum of American Revolution.
The Philadelphia walking tour is approximately 2 miles through the city’s Historic District.
