Unveiling 5 Hidden Gems of Philadelphia

3. Home of American History



Philadelphia is steeped in American history. We are all aware of the Liberty Bell, which the National Parks System now houses, but I much prefer visiting the block in which Benjamin Franklin resided, which also still stands. Today, the Benjamin Franklin House is a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of this polymath’s life and contributions. Visitors can explore the rooms where Franklin lived and worked, gaining insights into his scientific experiments and diplomatic endeavours. The house provides a fascinating glimpse into the private world of one of America’s most influential figures, offering a tangible connection to history.
