“To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse.” - John Adams
We all know George Washington didn’t really chop down a cherry tree, so why do we keep telling that story?
Americans love telling stories about the Founding Fathers that make us feel proud to be a part of their legacies. Behind the grand stories of brilliance and triumph though, we find imperfect people who were only human. They were humans who were kind, cruel, funny, and very rarely chopping down trees.
This tour doesn’t just show you America’s Most Historic Square Mile (though it does that too,) it is a journey through who the Founding Fathers were, who they were not, and who we wish they would have been.
No axe wielding required.
This tour will include the exterior of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the President's House, Benjamin Franklin's Grave, Franklin Court, Elfreth's Alley, Betsy Ross' House, and more.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
