Historic Germantown

 

Explore Germantown History

        

Yes, you’ve ogled our beloved Liberty Bell. And you’ve stood in awe at Independence Hall. But did you know that the largest Revolutionary War battle fought in Philadelphia took place in Germantown?

 

Or that the oldest official Presidential residence is located in ‘Freedom’s Backyard’?

 

Or that the first written protest against slavery was scribed in this historic neighborhood?

 

Sit back and hunker down for a tour of Germantown, where you’ll discover an Underground Railroad stop at the Johnson House, explore a self-sustaining town in present-day Fairmount Park called Historic Rittenhouse Town and learn a lot more about this gem of a neighborhood in the Northwest!
