Overview

If you are wondering why this tour about the Revolutionary War is happening in Philadelphia without a shot fired here, you may be surprised to learn that the seeds of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia. As the colonists declared their independence, they immediately began to prepare for war.

Two-and-a-half centuries after the Revolution, dozens of key sites and landmarks throughout the region remain, giving visitors a glimpse into the fascinating stories of this immensely important era in our history. Within the borders of Philadelphia stand some of the historic buildings that form the story of how this nation began, including the spot where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and also the first meeting house OF the first meeting of the Continental Congress in 1774.

Your guide, a history buff as well, will be able to tie the highlights of this historical city to the happenings that took place here, conjuring the image as you look and listen. Some of the special highlights that are included are the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Carpenters Hall, the Second Bank of the US, and Congress Hall.

You will see the Original City Hall, which ultimately became the Supreme Court, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the Revolutionary War.

This is definitely a tour that is dependent on the guide and you will value his/her insight. We all wish we had more time to read and this tour will stimulate more investigation into this time period.
