About this activity

We will visit the outside of a number of notable properties during the Discovering Colonial Philadelphia to now Walking Tour. We will see buildings that go back almost to the founding of the city in 1682, up to buildings currently under construction. Georgian, Federal, and many Revival styles will be seen along the way.

We do not enter any of the buildings listed on the tour. We will be sitting outside them while I tell you about the buildings and events that occurred there.
