Philadelphia, known colloquially as Philly, is the second-largest city on the east coast. With such historic appeal and ideal proximity to other popular group destinations, it’s easy to see why Philadelphia is a top choice for tour planners. Plan a whirlwind adventure at the following three iconic attractions.

Museum of the American Revolution

From the early stirrings of rebellion to the creation of an American nation, Museum of the American Revolution brings to life the events, people and ideals that created a new nation against incredible odds. A new special exhibition, “When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807,” is coming in August 2020. Did you know, more than 100 years before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment granting women’s suffrage, women legally voted in New Jersey? Or that their right to vote was taken away in 1807? Discover a generation of women voters and how their stories influenced the women’s rights movements of later generations.
