Without the revolutionaries, the Philly cheesesteak would be plain-old English scones. The Land of the Free owes its existence to the American Revolution of 1765–1783.

The Museum of the American Revolution adds to Philadelphia's rich historical landscape, exploring the patriots' against-all-odds journey from insurrection to independence. Learn about the Boston Tea Party, key battles, and the historic penning of the Constitution on this interactive ride through American history!

Steps away from Independence Hall, the museum houses an unrivaled collection of Revolution-era items, but it's much more than muskets and military dress. Marvel at weapons, personal items, documents, and stunning works of art as you learn about the founding fathers and other famous rebels.

Immersive galleries, powerful theater experiences, and interactive exhibits give the story some 21st-century flair. From George Washington's restored field tent to a reproduction of a giant Liberty Tree where the roots of rebellion first grew, the museum provides detailed exhibits that will intrigue adults and kids alike.
