Winner of a 2015 Book-of-the-Year award from the Society of
American Travel Writers Eastern Chapter. Experience the founding of
America in the city where it all began by strolling the newly
created Philadelphia Liberty Trail. This guide takes a fresh
approach to the historic district; going beyond such popular sights
as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, highlighting attractions
and unique spots overlooked by other guidebooks. Philadelphia
Liberty Trail provides the colorful history of each sight along
with practical travel information. Historic tidbits sprinkled
throughout engage visitors of all ages: * Learn the shocking story
of Benjamin Franklin's electric turkey experiment. * Tour the sight
of the first bank robbery in America in 1798, and learn how the
hapless criminal was captured when he deposited the pilfered funds
back into the very same bank. * Read about the unsung Quaker woman
who saved George Washington's army from destruction. Easy to follow
maps break the trail into segments. It also includes suggested side
trips to area attractions such as Valley Forge and Fort Mifflin.
Complete with lodging, dining, family-friendly options, and
practical travel information, Philadelphia Liberty Trail immerses
visitors in history right where it happened.
