Ceo of the resume of the American Revolution and i am standing on the plaza at the corner of third and chestnut streets in old city philadelphia. Philadelphia was the headquarters of the revolution, where delegates came and protests first mounted, where the declaration of independence was written 200 yards away at Independence Hall. This really is the most central element of the American Revolution, the birth of our nation, which is why this museum is located here. Just down the street from me is the first bank of the United States. That is Alexander Hamiltons branch bank when he launched our nations banking system. It is also the first building constructed by the United States of america. So we have truly are or the our where the nation began and it is the right place to tell the entire story of the American Revolution, which is our mission in the museum. Behind me, you see canons from the era, these are part of the city of philadelphias collection. Everyone of these canons are old en
The third,ing george they should answer that question. The second week on a schism did the revolution survive its the second question we ask is how did the revolution survive its darkest hour . Largest overseas expedition in european history is headed toward new york, and so the mural you see beside me is an eyewitness depiction, which we have blown up as a mural, showing five british warships in about 6000 troops and landing boats about to land on manhattan on september 15, 1776.

The first thing americans had to deal with was just survive onslaught that was coming in the in form of the british army. A really exciting opportunity to look a

From George Washington, a bomb shelter, and a signed photo of woodrow wilson. I am the curator at tudor house and historic garden and we will take a look at some of the Amazing Things we have in our collection. Tudor place was home to the peter family from 1805 until 1983, five different generations lived here. It was the wishes of the last owner that the house become a museum so that the public could enjoy the amazing collection of objects. I want to talk about the architecture. When thomas and martha peter purchased the house it was eight and a half acres and only the two end wings were here with nothing in between. Originally planned to add more to the house but never did. They started talking with their friend, a doctor and amateur architect, about designing a grand house for them. He designed the Octagon House in washington.
