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. After the tour, check out Frieda and Eggcellent, two popular eateries in the neighborhood, for an optional pay-your-own brunch. (The local brunch spots don't take reservations, but we can still make an enjoyable outing of it- they both get rave reviews for terrific food!) JOIN US!
