About the event
Explore colonial Philadelphia and walk some of its original streets with a tour guide from the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia (PAGP). See famous Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continuously occupied street in the US, and experience the walking/mercantile city, as well as a later generation of Victorian structures. Learn how this area remained the center of Philadelphia’s commercial, retail and governmental activities until the city finally moved “westward” to Center Square in the mid/late 19th century.
The tour is $21 per participant. There will be an optional pay-your-own brunch nearby after the tour at a location TBD.
