The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia stands as one of the most compelling and inspiring destinations for anyone interested in the American story. And, as the nation approaches its 250th birthday in 2026, there’s no better time to plan a visit. Located just steps from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, the Center is more than a museum—it’s a vibrant hub of history, education, and civic dialogue that brings the U.S. Constitution to life for visitors of all ages.
What makes the Center a unique tour destination is its interactive approach to history. Freedom Rising, a stirring 17-minute journey from the founding of our nation to the present, is a theatrical production featuring 360-degree multimedia and a live narrator who passionately tells the story of the U.S. Constitution. In Signers’ Hall, visitors can stand among life-size bronze statues of the Founding Fathers, feeling the weight and wonder of the choices made in 1787. The Center also offers special events including lectures and debates.
As 2026 approaches, the National Constitution Center is proud to be a cornerstone of Semiquincentennial celebrations.
