Activity itinerary

National Constitution Center (Pass by)

A national museum dedicated to the Constitution of the United States of America. Meeting point and Tour Introduction.

Free Quaker Meetinghouse (Pass by)

What happened to the pacifist Quakers during the American Revolution? See their meetinghouse from the outside, c. 1783, and imagine Betsy Ross attending service there

Christ Church Cemetery (Pass by)

Deborah Franklin’s Grave. Philly’s founding mother. See her grave from 1774 and hear about her life as the neglected but fiery bride of Benjamin Franklin.

Betsy Ross House (Pass by)

Did Betsy Ross really sew the first American flag? The house, c. 1740s, has so many stories to tell. (Spoiler: she did!)

Elfreth's Alley (Pass by)

A National Historic Landmark and the oldest residential street in America, dating from 1703. Hear about the middle-class working women who joined in the fight for independence.

Christ Church (Pass by)

Historic Christ Church is a remarkable surviving landmark from the American Revolution. Signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried in its sacred grounds, along with notable revolutionary women such as Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson. Appreciate the battle between patriots and loyalist, and how women were caught in the crossfire and chose sides.

Franklin Court (Pass by)

Once Deborah Franklin’s home, now the site of a ghost house honouring the memory or Deborah and Ben Franklin. The Franklin Court complex also includes a working reproduction of an 18th century printing press, an architectural exhibit, and an operating post office.

Todd House (Pass by)

Future first lady Dolley Madison lived here with her first husband, lawyer John Todd. Learn about the widow who married the fourth president of the United States and survived Philadelphia’s terrifying yellow fever epidemic. The house dates from 1775.

Independence Hall (Pass by)

The birthplace of the United States. Founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence here, as well as the American Constitution. But it wasn’t all about the men! Hear about the Philadelphia wives of the signers from Pennsylvania.
