No woman signed the Declaration of Independence. And no woman was asked to debate and create the Constitution. Yet the women of Philadelphia were driving forces in giving birth to our nation. Come join me as we walk through the historic areas of Philadelphia. But with this tour, we will "remember the ladies" as Abigail Adams asked of her husband. Our tour is designed to talk about the stories of these women and how they coped with not only the rigors of everyday life in the colonial world but how they contributed to the politics and the shaping of America. Our walk begins with Pennsylvania's first and still only female Governor, Hannah Penn. We stroll through Old City and discuss the working women and continue to the President's house where two first ladies lived, as did an enslaved woman who defied Washington. We end with the very wealthy and well connected and tour the original home of the premier hostess of her time, Elizabeth Willing Powel.
I will meet you at the agreed upon location as we begin our informative Walk Tour - Welcome Park - Elfreth's Alley - Betsy Ross - Franklin Court - President's House - Dolly Todd House - Peggy Shippen House - Powel House Please reach out with any questions at all or to customize this tour.
