📍 East Coast Trip Stop: Philadelphia, the Birthplace of America! 🇺🇸🔔
Shamrocks continued their journey through history with a guided tour of Philadelphia—a city rich in revolutionary spirit! They visited iconic landmarks, including:
🗽 Liberty Bell – a timeless symbol of freedom
🏛️ Free Quaker Meeting House – where Quakers who supported the Revolution gathered
🏡 Betsy Ross House – home of the woman credited with sewing the first American flag
🏘️ Elfreth’s Alley – the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the U.S.
⛪ Christ Church – where many of our founding fathers worshiped
🏃🏻♀️ The Rocky Steps are 72 stone steps leading up to the East entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia that gained global fame after being featured in a notable scene from the 1976 film Rocky.
Philadelphia brought the pages of their history books to life! Which historic site would you be most excited to visit? Tell us in the comments! 🧳📖✨ ... See MoreSee Less
