The President's House

Liberty Bell Center

This bell has been around a long time. During the Revolution it was hid in Allentown. And it became a symbol of liberty AFTER the revolution. See the bell, for free!

Independence Hall

Its name Independence Hall came from the French general the Marquis de Lafayette. When he visited the state house he called it the “Hall of Independence.” This was the house of the rebels, In its halls the founding fathers debated and adopted the declaration of independence and the United States constitution. If you want to go in you'll have to book a ticket. Our tour only goes outside.

Carpenters' Hall

Carpenters’ hall was built for and still owned by the Carpenters company of Philadelphia, the country’s oldest craft guild. And it’s known as the “Birthplace of Liberty” And it's free! We will stop here and hear the story of when the Rebels met here and boycotted the British. And Quebec almost became one of the original colonies! Amazing! Crazy! You won't learn that on other tours. Learn more here!

First Bank of the United States

Alexander Hamilton! The First Bank of the United States was the cornerstone of Hamilton's fiscal policy operating from 1791 to 1811. It was Hamilton’s idea that a national bank was vital to stabilize and improve the nation's credit, and to improve handling of the financial business of the government under the newly enacted Constitution. See Hamilton's old stomping grounds and learn his story on our tour!
