The City of Philadelphia is known for its history. In addition to the most famous sites from the days of the Revolutionary War era such as Independence Hall, and the Betsy Ross House, there are 67 National Landmarks within the city limits, and 13 Memorials marking the founding of our country, the native Americans who preceded our conquests, and the struggles of patriots, warriors and immigrants who fought for our liberties..

These testimonies, spanning centuries, are located along Philadelphia’s magnificent Waterfront, a short distant a part by foot, bicycle or car, and near fine restaurants, shopping, hotels and museums.

This site is designed to help you find your way around the Waterfront area, locate the Memorials, and learn the stories of the people and events which helped shape our city and our nation.
