Philadelphia Highlights

Independence Hall, Liberty Bell Visitor Center, National Constitution Center and Congress Hall 

Take a self-guided stroll through the home of the symbol of American independence (the Liberty Bell), followed by a guided tour of Independence Hall. Visit the National Constitution Center or Congress Hall and stand where the foundation of America was laid.

Museum of the American Revolution

The Museum of the American Revolution is a treasure in a city packed with historically significant venues. The museum is dedicated to telling the story of the American Revolution. The centerpiece of the museum’s extensive collection is George Washington’s original headquarters tent.

African American Museum in Philadelphia 

Be sure to stop at the African American Museum in Philadelphia – one of the country’s first major museums dedicated to Black American history.

Mutter Museum

If the macabre is more your students’ thing, be sure to include a visit to the Mutter Museum in the itinerary. Located in Center City, this museum boasts a collection of medical oddities and implements guaranteed to make you glad you live in the 21st century. Yikes!
