Founders Walking Tour
Founders Walking Tour
The essential of colonial America in Philadelphia.
The personalities and events that led to the creation of the United States are important for all informed world citizens, especially Americans, to know and understand. To better live in our world today we need to explore the issues that held the public's attention in the 18th century because "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". (George Santayana)
Corrupt and power-hungry leaders, restricted world trade and troubled race relations were as important to colonial Americans as they are to us today.
The Founders Tour includes the essential sites and topics in American history from the before the founding of Pennsylvania by William Penn in 1682 to the signing of the US Constitution in 1787.
Fairmount Park Bike Tour
Fairmount Park Bike Tour
Ride the park that makes the city.
Fairmount Park is one of Philadelphia's greatest treasures. With over 2000 acres of parkland running along each side of the Schuylkill River, Fairmount Park has always been a place of recreation and respite from city life, as well as the location of the "country seats" of important Philadelphians.
This bike tour through gentle park terrain, will start and end, at the Fairmount Water Works and explore various sites in East Fairmount Park. Bikes can be obtained from the city bike vendor, Indego, or you may bring you own.
The Bike Tour is at your own risk and will require the signing of a liability release form.
