OUR FIFTEEN ATTRACTIONS
Tell the stories of every kind of freedom – religious, racial, political, economic and artistic – and of the everyday people who fought for them, from the 1600s to the present day.
Discover history’s personal side.
In Historic Germantown.
Historic Germantown has a relaxed, backyard feel. But our history wasn't always that way. It's where Philadelphia's only Revolutionary War battle was fought. Where the first-ever American protest against slavery was written. Where one of the few remaining houses on the Underground Railroad still stands. And where the story of every kind of freedom is told – in uniquely personal terms. Just minutes from downtown Philadelphia.
