You are, after all, in Philadelphia!
 
Visit the National Constitution Center in historic Philadelphia.  The Center is America's most interactive history museum. Located just two blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, it is the only museum devoted to the U.S. Constitution and the story of we, the people.  During our visit, we will take an audio tour of a special exhibit "Ancient Rome and America," a 6,000 square foot exhibition that will feature over 300 artifacts from Rome's Republican and Imperial periods. The special exhibition will focus on the central themes America's founding fathers learned from the Roman Republic and the continuing influence of ancient Rome on America today. (self-guided tour).

Following the visit to the National Constitution Center, the group will have lunch at the City Tavern, one of the oldest continuously working taverns in the America.  At City Tavern you will experience 18th Century American culinary history in an award-winning setting.  Transportation will be provided to all events and back to the hotel. The trolley will leave the hotel for the Constitution Center around 9:00 am and is anticipated to return after lunch around 2:30 pm.
