What you can expect

Join, or Die! tours offers the only walking tour through Society Hill, America’s oldest residential area.

Most Philadelphia history tours focus on Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the same handful of Old City landmarks. This tour begins just south of those crowds in Society Hill, America's oldest area, consisting of beautifully preserved colonial brick rowhouses, cobblestone alleys, churchyards, gardens, and 18th-century landmarks.

From there, you’ll walk into Old City and Independence National Historical Park, connecting the neighborhood’s quieter streets to the bigger storey of America’s road to independence.

Owned, operated, and guided by a local resident of Society Hill with UPenn and Drexel degrees. The stops are hand selected to tell the Philadelphia Revolution storey from 1754 (Join, or Die! campaign) to 1776 (Declaration of Independence). Join us in celebration of America250! or…..
