Historic Philadelphia isn’t just a place. It’s an organization –
dedicated to making our nation’s history relevant and real through
interpretation, interaction and education, strengthening Greater
Philadelphia’s role as the destination to experience American
history. Historic Philadelphia, Inc. maintains the following
organizations: ONCE UPON A NATION. Most visible through the
branded Storytelling
...
Benches located throughout the Historic Philadelphia area and in
Valley Forge Park Once Upon A Nation also offers visitors a chance
to interact with historical players. History Makers, citizens of
the 18th & 19th centuries, share their stories, interact with
visitors and guide our Adventure Tours. THE BETSY ROSS
HOUSE. One of Philadelphia’s most popular historic attractions
(only Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, both run by the
National Park Service outdraw it), The Betsy Ross House is the
former home of the famed Quaker flagmaker, located at 239 Arch
Street. FRANKLIN SQUARE. Fun family entertainment and a
beautiful park are just steps away from the Liberty Bell, in one of
William Penn’s original five squares. Award-winning Franklin Square
is the family-friendly play place located in the heart of Historic
Philadelphia, featuring Philly Mini Golf, the Parx Liberty
Carousel, playgrounds, a vintage marble fountain, and SquareBurger,
