Uncover Philadelphia's hidden history with an archaeologist

History isn’t just written in books—it’s also buried beneath our feet. Join me on a journey through Philadelphia’s past, where every excavation uncovers forgotten truths about America’s founding. This immersive tour peels back the layers of the city’s most iconic sites, revealing the stories often left out of textbooks. • First, we’ll explore the site that reshaped our understanding of early America: the remnants of George Washington’s presidential mansion. Here, we’ll delve into the archaeological excavation that unearthed the living quarters of the enslaved people who labored there. • Next, the Liberty Bell, considered a symbol of freedom, has layers of secrets beneath its surface. Discover the untold stories behind this national symbol and the complexities behind America’s cherished myths. • Walk among the forgotten and uncover the city’s darker past at Washington Square, where thousands of Revolutionary War soldiers and yellow fever victims lie in unmarked graves. • Step into the remnants of Benjamin Franklin’s home and discover the private struggles of a founding father, from family drama to personal failures. These excavations reveal a side of Franklin rarely shown in history books. As we wrap up on Market Street, you’ll reflect on the stories unearthed along the way and walk away with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of Philadelphia and the people who shaped it

Descubre la Filadelfia colonial

Every building has a story to tell, from the materials, technology, and styles favored when it was constructed, to the people who designed, built, lived and worked there. Events of historic proportion take place in and around buildings as well. Come with me on this journey to discover all the secrets each building on our tour is waiting to tell us. We will be walking through Old City, visiting the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the United States, and seeing the same buildings the Founding Fathers worked and worshiped in.

This tour is also great for groups, teams and team building! Most tours are Private, but please contact me if you are two or more guests and I can make them public. Other things to note: Bring cameras, water and snacks that you like, or there are plenty of stores along the way. A hat and comfortable shoes are also a good idea to wear.

Crea un adorno de vidrio marino con una artista de Cape May

Learn to make one 10x12 framed resin art piece yourself with seaglass, beach glass and recycled glass, with shells & more harvested from the Delaware Bay! Resin seascape pictures often sell for $150 or more. Why not make your own and take home a memory! You will be greeted upon arrival to my Coastal Farmhouse-style home. While we wait for other guests to arrive, help yourself to complimentary light appetizers and pick out some shells to use in your project. You will receive detailed instructions on how to place the sand, seashells, crushed glass, seaglass and other items on your picture frame. You will then learn how to safely drizzle the resin over the entire picture to preserve it and make it shine. You will then add a few more items to your finish your piece. If you finish early, continue to enjoy the space and more light fare while the rest of the group finishes. Around certain holidays, you will have the option to make a seascape heart (Jan/Feb), Beachy tree (Dec) or Coastal wreath (Dec). Please note that you will NOT be able to take your piece home the same day since it must harden for at least 12 hours. Most pick up the next day or it can be mailed to you for an additional cost. It will fully harden after 3 days. Groups are welcomed, however since we are working with crushed glass and epoxy resin, only ages 14 and above can participate. BYOB.
