Philadelphia Attractions |
| Philadelphia attractions fall into so many categories: historical architecture, artifacts, documents; an innovative 1820's penal institution; art galleries; ethnic museums. Visit the local tavern, A Man Full of Trouble, circa 1759! Take a walk down Elfreth's Alley, still inhabited after some 300 years, feeling the ambiance of 18th century Colonial America. The Rodin Museum has the largest collection of the artist's works outside of France including The Thinker, a famous sculpture nearly everyone recognizes. The Second Continental Congress convened at Independence Hall and Betsy Ross sewed that famous flag in her house on Arch Street. To get you started we've assembled a few Philadelphia attractions here. |

The Liberty Bell Center
Come see first hand an important symbol that represents early American history and liberty in our Nation. The bell has been rung to proclaim the Battle of Lexington and Concord, and the opening of the first Continental Congress. Today the bell lies dormant because of its famous crack that many think was caused sometime during George Washington's presidency. |
