Museum of the American Revolution

250 years ago, Philadelphia was on the road to Revolution. Visit the Museum on Nov. 1-2 to experience a living history event that will immerse you in the fall of 1775. Enjoy walking tours, dramatic vignettes, and hands-on activities as you meet the diverse residents of British Philadelphia.

Consider whether you would enlist in the 1st Pennsylvania Battalion, about to embark on an invasion of Canada. Haggle over goods at the market, then visit artisans demonstrating their crafts. Listen in as neighbors debate their political ideas — and maybe join in! Throughout the weekend, imagine a time when people still believed that they were fighting for their rights as British subjects and the Revolutionary War had just begun.
