Philadelphia
. . .
a Historical Journey.
|
 The city of Philadelphia provides a
wealth of things to see and do. Its high
importance during the Revolutionary War has
yielded entire areas in which famous,
country-shaping events have taken place. Be
sure to check out places like Independence
Hall,
the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross
House, and Franklin
Court during your walking tour of the
district.
Start at Front Street near the
Delaware River and proceed up to around 6th Street
and over past Chestnut and Market Streets.
Signs furnished by the city are everywhere,
ensuring that you do not get lost and pointing out
everything within a ten-minute walk.
Your
travels will definitely bring you to City
Hall,
located in Philadelphia's center. The
impressive, unobstructed view of William Penn on
the structure's roof can be seen for miles around
thanks to a law prohibiting buildings from
blocking the Hall's famous cap.
Further up,
you'll find the museum district, home of Franklin
Institute and the other "major"
museums like the Philadelphia
Museum of Art and the Academy
of Natural Sciences.
