Inspired by the stories in our 2025 exhibition, Philadelphia, The Revolutionary City, this series of tours invites you to visit four important historic houses here in Philadelphia. Each Saturday in September we will meet to learn about a different historic house and its grounds, with knowledgeable staff at each site. A member of the APS staff will also be on hand to point out the connections between the houses, their stories, and the exhibition Philadelphia, the Revolutionary City.
The schedule is below. We will meet at the entrance to each site at 10:30 AM. Transportation is not provided. Tours should last about 1 hour each and will require walking, standing, and some stairs. Accommodations are available. Please let us know in advance if you need accommodation.
