A Museum Member talks to two costumed living historians dressed as British redcoats at the member teatime at Occupied Philadelphia.

On Sunday Nov. 10, between 1-2 p.m., Members are invited to stop by the Museum’s third-floor Liberty Hall for a spot of tea during Occupied Philadelphia, the Museum’s flagship living history event. While enjoying light refreshments, “loyal” Members and History Explorers alike will have the opportunity to hear British General Howe’s side of this story and participate in family-friendly activities with costumed living history interpreters before venturing back into Occupied Philadelphia.  

RSVP for free today to enjoy a spot of tea and British sympathy with Members of all ages.

Members receive exclusive discounts on our popular outdoor walking tours of the surrounding encampment, featuring a spy challenge and immersive street theater vignettes. Plus, you can visit our Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington’s Tent special exhibit, experience the Museum’s core exhibitions, and enjoy discounts in the Museum Shop and Cross Keys Café.
