Elfreths alley
Elfreth's Alley was established in 1728 when two blacksmiths donated land to create a residential area in Philadelphia, making it one of the oldest and best preserved street in America. It originally welcomed people of all religions and became a popular place to live. Elfreth's Alley celebrated everyday American life and is now recognized as a national landmark, preserving the history of colonial life through a small museum and attracting many visitors interested in learning about its past.
Mummer
The Mummers' Museum in Philadelphia opened in 1976 and is dedicated to preserving the history of the New Year's Mummers Parade tradition in the city. It houses memorabilia from past parades and traces the roots of the mummer tradition back to colonial times when masked revelers would celebrate festivals. The museum is located at 1100 South 2nd Street in Philadelphia.
Betsy ross house
The Betsy Ross house was built over 250 years ago and served not only as Betsy Ross's home but also housed dozens of shopkeepers and artisans over 150 years, with the front room serving as a workshop and showroom while families lived in the rest of the house. Now the Betsy Ross house has been converted into a museum in Philadelphia that many people visit to learn about its history as both a private home and place of business made ideal by its location near the Delaware River.

Valley forge
Valley Forge was the site where General George Washington and the Continental Army encamped for six months during the winter of 1777, as they fought for freedom from British rule. The American soldiers endured harsh conditions without proper clothing or supplies, but continued training despite being cold and hungry in their quest for independence from English taxation and rule.
