Підписувач

Ваша екскурсія розпочнеться в саду підписника біля статуї підписувача. Ця статуя вшановує та представляє всіх підписантів Декларації незалежності та Конституції США, а також дух свободи, який вони продовжують втілювати в наш час!

2

Національний історичний парк Незалежності

У цьому парку ви побачите безліч історичних пам’яток, таких як Зал незалежності, Конгрес-хол і Стара ратуша. Ваш гід розповість вам історію всіх них і підкреслить значення їхньої ролі в розвитку сучасної Філлі, Сполучених Штатів і глобальної демократії.

3

ТРЦ Незалежності

Торговий центр Independence Mall є домом для Національного конституційного центру, Центру відвідувачів Independence і багатьох визначних пам’яток Національного парку Independence. Поки ви проходите та вбираєтеся в атмосферу, наш путівник буде тримати вас в курсі його історії та надаватиме всю корисну інформацію, поки ви будете в парку та навколишніх районах.

4

Зал Незалежності

Ця культова будівля (і зображення на банкноті в 100 доларів) є маяком демократії для американців та інших країн світу. Під час нашої екскурсії ми побачимо Зал незалежності зовні, коли ми оточимо його та поговоримо про філософії, випробування та тріумфи батьків-засновників, які працювали тут, коли народилася наша нація.

5

Конгрес-хол

Ця будівля, у якій спочатку розташовувався Конгрес Сполучених Штатів, є однією з прилеглих до Залу незалежності.

6

Стара ратуша

Почуйте розповіді про цю чудову будівлю, її роль у розбудові сучасної демократії, а також засновників і філософії нашої країни.

7

Центр Дзвін Свободи

Дізнайтеся про історію (і розвійте деякі міфи!) Дзвону Свободи та про те, як він використовувався протягом багатьох років, надихаючи всіх: від аболіціоністів до суфражисток і руху за громадянські права.

8

Столярський зал

Ми побачимо знаменитий Карпентерс-Холл, де була заснована Співдружність Пенсільванії. Це місце також має величезне значення для американської незалежності, оскільки тут відбувся перший Континентальний конгрес. Ви почуєте багато історій про цей наріжний камінь американської історії, коли ми милуватимемося будівлею ззовні.

9

Музей американської революції

Один із найновіших музеїв у Філадельфії пропонує неймовірний погляд на історії, артефакти та людей, які сформували Американську революцію. Ми зайдемо всередину, щоб побачити презентацію військового намету Джорджа Вашингтона, який був присутній у багато критичних моментів під час війни за незалежність. Коли ваша екскурсія закінчиться, ви зможете отримати квиток зі знижкою, щоб побачити решту музею.

10

Алея Ельфрета

Будучи найстарішою житловою вулицею в усіх Сполучених Штатах, ця вулиця є чудовим баченням історії, а її архітектура сягає початку 1700-х років. Унікальна цегляна кладка, вузькі будинки та унікальні риси справді роблять його національним надбанням.

11

Будинок Бетсі Росс

Ви пройдете повз Будинок Бетсі Росс, названий на честь відомої швачки та виробника прапорів, яка, як кажуть, пошила перший в історії американський прапор! Ми обов’язково розповімо вам про численні міфи, пов’язані з цією «матір’ю-засновницею».

12

Могила Бенджаміна Франкліна

Пройдіться повз місце поховання найвідомішого винахідника в американській історії, йдучи Арч-стріт.

13

Будинок президента

Наступна наша зупинка поруч, біля Будинку президента! Саме тут жили такі легендарні американські ікони, як Джордж Вашингтон і Джон Адамс, коли він був президентом. Ви також дізнаєтеся про деяких рабів, які жили в цьому місці, і про те, що це все ще активний археологічний об’єкт, який не надто поширений у центрі міста.
