Within a few blocks in Philadelphia, the idea of a free country was developed.

We'll stop by a few well-known items along the way and learn the secrets and legends these buildings harbor. We'll discuss some individuals you've probably never heard of and share some obscure historical facts. Take a ride in our time machine and travel to 18th-century America.

What To Expect

The President's House (Pass By)

Though what you'll see today is only the foundation of the original, this location was still important in early American history. This home played host to the first two presidents of the newly formed United States, before the White House was constructed.

Liberty Bell Center (Pass By)

This famous bell was cast in London in 1752, and was originally known as the Pennsylvania State House Bell. In the 1830s, abolitionists, who adopted it as an icon, gave it the name of the Liberty Bell. That has a much better "ring" to it, don't you agree?

Independence Hall (Pass By)

Independence Hall was 21 years in the building, and was finished in 1753. It's perhaps most famous for hosting the Second Continental Congress, the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and also, Nicolas Cage in the film "National Treasure".

Congress Hall (Pass By)

This building was host to the two houses of Congress before the capital moved to Washington DC, and is the source of the terms "upper chamber" and "lower chamber".

American Philosophical Society Museum (Pass By)

Benjamin Franklin adopted Philadelphia as his hometown after relocating from Boston. After he established himself, he founded many organizations, including the American Philosophical Society.

Carpenters' Hall (Pass By)

The Carpenters' Company, the oldest trade guild in America, met here, as did the First Continental Congress, before moving to Independence Hall. Benjamin Franklin's expansive library was also housed here.

First Bank of the United States (Pass By)

Chartered by Alexander Hamilton, the establishment of this bank can be definitively tied to the emergence of the two-party system in America. This was mostly caused by the rift between Alexander Hamilton, who was in favor of the bank, and Thomas Jefferson, who was vehemently opposed to the creation of a central bank.

Christ Church (Pass By)

One of the principles William Penn held dear was freedom of religion, and he founded the colony bearing his name, Pennsylvania, upon this ideal. After fleeing persecution in England due to his Quaker beliefs, Penn offered no resistance when the Church of England wanted to establish a church in Philadelphia. This historic church counted at least 15 signers of the Declaration of Independence among its parishioners.
