Trip ideas while visiting Philadelphia in Pennsylvania

National Constitution Center

The National Constitution Center is situated in the Old City neighborhood, a convenient distance of less than half a mile from both the Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall. This center offers fascinating exhibits that focus on significant moments in American history, with a particular emphasis on the signing of the Constitution. Within its walls, you can find remarkable artifacts such as the initial version of the Constitution and one of the remaining copies of the Emancipation Proclamation, personally signed by President Abraham Lincoln.

Some visitors who have been here before suggest checking out Signers’ Hall, a place where you can see life-size bronze statues of the 42 Founding Fathers. It’s quite impressive! Additionally, there are plenty of interactive activities for kids to enjoy, making it a great place for families to visit.
