Day 2 – Museum of the American Revolution & Through Their Eyes Tour w/lunch – Philadelphia’s Independence National Historic Park – Dinner at The Revolution House – Ghost Tour

Your historical journey begins today at The Museum of the American Revolution. Here the Revolution comes to life through unique high-tech galleries, theaters, and recreations of historical scenes. It gives perspective from Boston and the opening shots of the War to Independence Hall and the signing of the Declaration, to Williamsburg and the final conflict.

Included with your visit is the Museum’s flagship in-gallery experience Through Their Eyes which invites young people to explore the major causes and events of the American Revolution through the eyes of the men, women, and children who lived through it. As they study objects, documents, and ideas, students consider questions such as: Who were the Revolutionaries? How Revolutionary was the war? What kind of a nation did the Revolution create? Through Their Eyes is suitable for grades 4-12, it is led by highly trained museum educators and can be adapted to suit different needs and abilities.

Lunch will be included today at the Museum of American Revolution.

The afternoon continues exploring the ideas, events, and legacies of America’s Revolutionary beginnings in Philadelphia where the spirit of Franklin is alive. You will visit Independence National Historic Park. The old, cracked Bell still proclaims Liberty, and Independence Hall echoes the words “We The People.” Your guide will describe Benjamin Franklin’s Philadelphia as you learn of America’s past and our Founders’ declaration that “all men are created equal.”

You will focus on Independence Hall, perhaps the most historically important building in America. Here in the Assembly Room on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted, and here 11 years later in 1787 the U S Constitution was ratified. Throughout this day you will visit the many other buildings preserved from our Constitutional past, including The Liberty Bell, Christ Church and Burial Ground, The Betsy Ross House, and more.

This evening, dinner is at The Revolution House in Philadelphia’s historic Old City District, it’s a charming multi-story restaurant, proud to fuel your revolution.

Following dinner, an evening Ghost Tour.  Take a candlelit walking tour of one of America’s most historic and haunted cities, where guides lead your group through Independence Hall, Society Hill and Washington Square to highlight the spookiest spots in Philadelphia.

Discover what could be lurking behind the shadows as the enchanting Ghost Tours of Philadelphia guides tell chilling tales about historical figures like Bishop White, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel, Philip Physick and Ben Franklin. (B,L,D)
