Museums and Attractions :: Historic Philadelphia

America's most historic square mile

Throughout Independence Mall, America's most sacred historic sites stand side-by-side with the hustle and bustle of a 21st-century city.

The residents of Society Hill welcome visitors to stroll their cobblestone streets and take in the architecture of the centuries-old homes, churches and landmarks that make this neighborhood so picturesque.

And when artists, boutique owners and restaurateurs landed in Old City, they added a funky energy to this former warehouse district.
