Kimmel Center Box Office | 300 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 The ACCESS discount is only available for The Founders Tour. The Founders Tour includes the essential sites in American history in Philadelphia from the founding of Pennsylvania by William Penn in 1682 – to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 – to the signing of the US Constitution in 1787. Corrupt and power-hungry leaders, restricted world trade and troubled race and international relations were as important to colonial Americans as they are to us today. To better live in our world today we need to explore the issues that held the public’s attention in the 18th century because “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” (George Santayana). The personalities and events that led to the creation of the United States are important for all informed world citizens, especially Americans, to know and understand. The Founders Tour: The Essentials of Colonial America in Philadelphia Tours meet outside Independence Visitor Center at 6th and Market Streets
