Full-Day Field Trip

Students will explore the very best of Revolutionary Philadelphia as they encounter stories of the diverse people who shaped the nation.  Students will become active participants in the debate over independence as they learn about the important choices that faced women, people of African descent, Native Americans, and others.  They will even have the opportunity to decide what they would have done given the same circumstances.

 

Sites:

Our guides tell interactive stories outside The Betsy Ross House, Elfreth's Alley, Christ Church, Franklin Court, Carpenters' Hall, and  Independence Hall. At midday, students will have lunch outside the Arch Street Meetinghouse (weather permitting) and a short program inside the historic building.
