I haven't visited historic Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, since I was a kid but this time I brought along my youngest niece. If you love American history, this is a must-do trip. One of the great things about visiting historic Philadelphia is that all of the main attractions are within easy walking distance of each other. We visited Independence Hall (my favorite because the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed here), the Liberty Bell, Benjamin Franklin's Grave in Christ Church Burial Ground, the Philadelphia Mint (my niece's favorite because you can see the coins being minted), the President's House (America's first White House), the National Constitution Center (where original copies of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are held), the Betsy Ross House (where seamstress Betsy Ross allegedly sewed the first American flag), and more!

Did you notice that on each side of the lane leading to Carpenter's Hall were two museums. There were museums to the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Dolly Madison's home is within walking distance as well as Franklin Square - the site of Franklin's home and bookbinding business. Christ's Church is a little further down the road. The 2nd National Bank houses a national portrait gallery containing images of the Founding Father''s. The Maritime Museum was in the general vicinity of Carpenter's Hall but has been moved to the Waterfront.

The museums are all great and so many of them. Barnes Foundation one of my favorite with large French impressionist presence, also the Rodin Museum that rivals the one in Paris

We are doing spring break in Philly coming up in April. I have kids aged 8, 10, 10 and am nervous this historical stuff, which I love, will be not be received well. So the shots of your niece were valuable. She was bored for much as expected but was smiling walking among the statues at the Nat Constitution Center. So the NCC moved up the priority list. This has tempered my expectations and reminded me about traveling with kids - keep 'em feed and don't do too much. We will spread out what you did over a few days. Thx

Yes, at those ages, they probably won't be too interested in history or historical places. Maybe they'd like the Franklin Institute museum?

He missed it? Maybe he chose 15 places, which is what the title suggests. These were chosen for proximity as it clearly states you might be able to do most of this in a day. I've been a guide almost 20 years, which has nothing to do with the argument. He did a fantastic job and also a lot of research. By the way, any guide would also know "Ben's House" is merely a steel replication of what use use to be, and not his actual house. Certainly worthy of missing."
