One of the best Free Activities and places in America. Visitors can actually see where the birth of freedom was (is) Born. Plenty of affordable parking, very secure atmosphere.

So much to see and not enough time. This museum needs to be taken in at stages. Have patience. It is worth reading as much as you can that is displayed! Love that it is chronological history from the basement up to the third floor. There is a visual arts gallery on the top floor. Explore it!
