A Museum educator leads a group on a walking tour in the Museum's Old City neighborhood.

Join fellow Museum Members on a select weekend each month for special Members-only tours of our galleries, special exhibitions, and historic neighborhood.

On Sunday, June 1, at 9:30 a.m., Museum Members are invited to explore our Old City neighborhood and imagine what life was like in the 1700s on our Revolutionary City walking tour. This 1.5-hour guided tour led by a Museum educator covers about a mile and stops outside iconic sites including City Tavern, Independence Hall, and Carpenters Hall to discuss the experiences of everyday people in the Revolutionary era.

Our monthly Member Mornings are free for Museum Members to attend with advance registration. Not yet a Museum Member? Become a member today.
