Black History: The Seventh Ward

Explore what was once a thriving Black community where national figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman collaborated with Philadelphia’s most prominent change-makers to end slavery and achieve equality. This is my most popular tour.

Founding Sisters: Women's History

Discover Philadelphia’s 18th and 19th century women who witnessed wartime and rebellion, activism and treason, exploring the complexities of women’s roles as wives, mothers, enslaved workers, and enslavers.

Revolutionary Scandals of Early America

Brothels. Body-snatching. Betrayals and affairs. We’ll discover early Philadelphia’s history from the skeletons in its closet. The twists and trysts of founding fathers and everyday people will ask us to consider a more complicated history, as well as fallible (and sometimes unforgivable) human nature.

Black Footsteps in Early Philadelphia

A bustling free community--and the enslaved property of founding fathers; one of the wealthiest men in town, and the everyday workers who made this city hum. These are the people who shaped a nation. Join me on a walk through the cobblestoned streets of history's Black Philadelphians.

Philadelphia's Historic Cemeteries

Book this lively tour visiting Philadelphia’s most storied buried dead and view six different historic cemeteries housing the graves of founding fathers and everyday Philadelphians. Those of all faiths, or no faiths at all, are welcome! Glimpse the city’s past—from those who’ve passed away.

Coming Soon: Living History Tours

Stay tuned for living history tours! Wearing historically authentic garments isn't playing dress up--it's a deep look into the everyday experiences of the people who lived before us.
