Attractions & Activities

The original capital of the nation, PHILADELPHIA was laid out by William Penn Jr. in 1682, on a grid system that was to provide the pattern for most American cities.  The city was also the capital during the American Revolution (except for nine months under British occupation in 1777-78). It also served as the US capital until 1800, while Washington, DC was being built. The Declaration of Independence was written, signed and first publicly read here in 1776,  and The US Constitution ten years later.
