If you are writing a story about the park or other topics covering the founding of the United States and would like to interview park staff please contact us prior to your deadline. We will be happy to arrange an interview with a subject matter expert to answer questions and provide more information for your story.
Special Programs
Our daily programs are designed to give visitors to the park the basic story of the American Revolution, the Constitutional Convention and Benjamin Franklin's life, but there's a lot more to the story of the founding of the United States that cannot be covered in one tour.
If you feel inspired to learn more than the basic history, we regularly hold in-depth programs on a variety of subjects that may include 18th Century life, the creation of the constitution, African American history, Native American History and Women's history just to name a few.
