Description:
|
OLD CITY. Still a residential street, Elfreth's Alley was constructed in 1702 and is the oldest continuously inhabited street in the US. Two houses on the cobblestone street are open to the public – the Museum House and the Chairmakers House. You'll get a close-up look at the interiors, and learn about the architecture and history of the homes. During the summer, you'll enjoy historic reenactments and demonstrations, plus special events and festivals. In December, the "Deck the Alley" celebration features tours of some of the private residences. |
