Founding Footsteps Tours

Tour agency

👍👍 Shamus was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable, he went at a great pace and had facts I don’t believe we would have learned everywhere. He made the tour so much fun, I didn’t want it to end. This is a must to see all the sites! Note we don’t go in the sites but you end at the independence hall so you c...

Scrappy Cat (a curiosity shop)

Antique store

👍👍 This place is so cute!! So much nostalgia and beautiful antiques, plus the owners took the time to let us know of some local places to grab some vegan food after our visit. I've already recommended Scrappy Cat to multiple people, and I will definitely be back.

South Street Cannabis Museum

Museum

👍👍 The Philadelphia cannabis museum is a very special place to visit. It is both the history of cannabis, and the history of Philadelphia rolled into one. Kris, who runs the place, is a delight and a genius. A very special place to visit when you come to Philadelphia.

St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church

Catholic church

👍👍 Beautiful church with abundant history! The Catholic Church is over 219 years old, located in Old City, Philadelphia.

Museum for Art in Wood

Art museum

👍👍 Really nice FREE museum. The first floor is rotating exhibitions and the second floor is permanent collections.

Smedley Christmas Display

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Per a resident of Smedley Terrace, this 100 year old neighborhood has been decorating for Christmas for at least 70 years. Tough to find a place to park nearby but worth taking the time and walking in. Houses have holiday displays in windows and central open space is burgeoning with decorations, som...

Congress Hall

Historical place museum

👍👍 A must see, even for a short time. Make sure you get tickets ahead of time for the tour. The tour isn't so much a tour but a lesson in history. The guide was very knowledgeable and the building is full of period (if not original) furniture. All in all this is a very interesting place full of America...

It was first playe...
