A Museum educator talks to people in front of Independence Hall

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 7, at 9:30 a.m., Museum Members are invited to visit sites connected to the creation, printing, and enduring legacy of the Declaration of Independence. This 1.5-hour guided tour led by a Museum educator covers about three-quarters of a mile. Along the way, you’ll discover the stories of printers, immigrants, abolitionists, suffragists, and civil rights leaders who drew inspiration from the Declaration’s promise of liberty and equality. 

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