Welcome to Historic America’s walking tour of Old City Philadelphia. We’re glad you could join us! I’m Rachel, your guide (but I also respond to professional history nerd). This is the part of the tour where I fit in my shameless plug for our website (www.historicamerica.org) and invite you to use #historicamericatours on social media while traveling alongside us today. This tour tells the story of the American Revolution and the nation’s early years by exploring the sites of Old City Philadelphia like Franklin Square & Independence Hall - all within ringing distance of the Liberty Bell. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were penned, debated, and signed here, so during the course of this tour, you’ll get to see where America was born. Let’s explore Old City! To get started, find your way to the intersection of South 10th & Locust Streets. A quick note before we get started: Our tour is designed to help you see Philadelphia’s most famous sites no matter when you visit! We will not go inside any buildings, but many of these sites are free and open to the public on most days during regular business hours. However, some sites (like inside Independence Hall) require a free, timed ticket and a security check. If you’d like more information about operating hours and tickets to Independence Hall, you can visit the Independence Visitor Center on Market Street.

Welcome to Georgetown! I’m glad you can join me. I’m Christian, your guide and this tour will focus on the homes and hangouts of this neighborhood’s most famous residents, John Fitzgerald and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. You’ll get to see each of these homes as well as a few other Kennedy-related sites. We will generally follow a clockwise direction which will take places out of chronological order, but will best accommodate your walk so as to avoid excessive backtracking.

The best way to take this tour is with a group of friends on either Friday night, or Saturday and Sunday after 12:00 noon because that’s when you get the most free booze and drinking is best done with friends. That’s right. Most of the distilleries in this tour offer free tastings of their spirits on the weekend. I have personally taken this tour, with friends, and we had a TON of free tastings so I know what I’m talking about.
