Philadelphia and Hershey(Pennsylvania)

July 27 – August 4, 2002

Philadelphia, traditionally called the "City of Brotherly Love," is the city where George Washington became Commander-in-Chief of the army and where the Declaration of Independence was signed in Independence Hall. On July 8, 1776, the Liberty Bell, which hung in the tower of Independence Hall, was rung to call citizens to hear Colonel John Nixon give the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.

Philadelphia is a city brimming with history and historical sites, a host of artistic institutions and historic homes, and many wonderful restaurants. Betsy Ross stitched the first American flag here; Benjamin Franklin is buried near the center of the city; botanist John Bartram created a magnificent botanical garden and wild-flower meadow; the Mummers Museum has wonderful participatory displays, costumes and musical instruments that trace the history of the Mummers and their New Year's Day Parade; the Rodin Museum houses one of the largest collections of the artist's works outside of Paris. And, a host of museums offer many tactile programs, all of which will be accessible to us on this program. We will take a take excursion to Hershey, especially to sample the chocolate.
