Philly: Liberty Bell Historical Self-Guided Walking Tour

Description

We begin at the beautiful City Hall and make our way to the historic district while exploring the catalysts to the war. At the famous Independence Hall, we dive into the Declaration of Independence’s drafting, debating, and signing.

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 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, 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.
