Walking along Market St., we came across Franklin’s Court and his Print Shop. We were pleased to discover that we had the place to ourselves and did not have to share with the many school groups we had seen bopping around town. The docent showed us how the printing press was set up and printed […]

Another highlight for me. This is the country’s oldest residential street, Elfreth’s Alley. It’s a row of beautiful homes, along a cobblestone lane. They have a small museum in one of the homes, and docents standing out front for tours. One of the tour guides was kind and shared with our family a little bit […]
