About this activity

We will visit a number of notable properties during the Discovering Colonial Philadelphia Public Walking Tour. We will see buildings that go back almost to the founding of the city in 1682, in styles such as Georgian, Federal, and many Revival styles and will learn about important events in American history along the way.

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