Liberty Bell Pavilion
The Liberty Bell Pavilion houses the most important relic of American patriotism. The Liberty Bell, as it is called today, is named for its role in proclaiming liberty throughout American history. The bell was ordered to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Penn's Charter, which established religious liberty in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania delegates had the verse Leviticus 25:10 placed on the bell. It declares, "proclaim LIBERTY throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" (KJV). The bell cracked the very first time it was rung upon arriving in America from the Whitechapel foundry in London. It was broken down, melted and recast twice more before it was finally hung in the Pennsylvania State House. The Liberty Bell began to live up to its name on July 8, 1776 when it called Philadelphia together to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
The well-known and loved story of Betsy Ross sewing the first Stars & Stripes is tightly woven into the colorful fabric of America's rich history. The Betsy Ross House, the birthplace of the American flag, is alive with the sights and sounds of the 18th century. Tour the house and then stay a while longer to learn more about Betsy and her exciting life and times through interactive, historical programming.
The Lights of Liberty Show
Freedom. Patriotism. Independence! Take an inspirational 3D journey through American symbols in this state-of-the-art show. Join virtual Ben Franklin and learn about the Liberty Bell, the American flag, the Great Seal, and more in the 360° PECO Theater that surrounds the audience. This 15-minute long experience is located inside the Historic Philadelphia Center, on 6th & Chestnut Streets just across from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
Students are sure to be inspired, informed, and engaged by their visit to the National Constitution Center—the Museum of 'We the People'. The museum's main exhibition includes three signature attractions. Freedom Rising is a multimedia theater-in-the-round performance connecting visitors in an inspiring, unforgettable way with the story of the United States Constitution and its ongoing role in our lives. The Story of We the People is a hands-on exhibition that illuminates America's constitutional history through innovative exhibits, films, photographs, rare artifacts, and engaging activities led by the education staff. Singers' Hall allows students to sign the Constitution alongside 42 life-size, bronze statues of the Founding Fathers. The National Constitution Center is an incredible experience for teachers and students alike.
They risked everything — "their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor." During the blistering summer of 1776, 56 courageous men gathered at the Pennsylvania State House and defied the King of England. Eleven years later, representatives from 12 states gathered to shape the U.S. Constitution, finally creating one unified nation. The guided tour of Independence Hall, led by National Park rangers, begins in the courtroom where lawyers from opposing sides shared tables and law books. George Washington's "rising sun" chair dominates the Assembly Room, which is arranged as it was during the Constitutional Convention. In the adjacent West Wing, the original inkstand used to sign the Declaration and an original draft of the Constitution are displayed.
Located in the heart of historic Philadelphia, the National Liberty Museum is dedicated to preserving America's heritage of freedom by fostering good character, civic responsibility and respect for all people. Visitors to the Museum take an inspirational walk through freedom, interacting with incredible stories of heroes and artwork that encourage them to find their own place in the story of liberty. Core themes for young people and adults include leadership and good character; diversity and inclusion; peaceful conflict resolution; and civic engagement. The museum's primary art form is glass art, as it supports their mission to promote non-violence and acceptance of others by showing visitors that freedom is "fragile," like glass. It also makes the point that liberty is essential for self-expression.
The African American Museum in Philadelphia is the first institution built by a major United States city to house and interpret the life and work of African Americans. Doors are open for the enjoyment and enlightenment of visitors five days a week. Visit and experience the richness and vibrancy of African American heritage in four magnificent exhibition galleries filled with exciting history and fascinating art.
