Rebel With a Cause: William Penn and Philadelphia: A Repeat
William Penn's Philadelphia: Challenging Intolerance Since 1660.
Two-hour gentle walking tour that explores Penn's vision for an egalitarian society. FitC's
fifth Penn tour--those who went on the previous ones found it intriguing!
Follow William Penn's journey from Anglican gentleman to Quaker founder for
religious freedom and civil liberties in a new world.
Find out how he settled Philadelphia
without firing a single shot and
without building a wall.
Our docent, Elise Bromberg,
keeps her groups small so there can be an interactive, relaxed experience. Only 11 can register.
The walk is only several blocks, with two stops inside buildings along the way.
